I have long been intrigued by the question of how do we turn the internet into a lifeline grade infrastructure... My hope that this will occur soon or even within decades is diminishing. Most of us observe, almost daily, how even well established infrastructures tend to crumble when stressed, even slightly... I was at the O'Reilly Etel conference last week. The content was impressive and the people there were frequently the primary actors in the creation and deployment of VOIP. However, not once during the three days did I hear a serious discussion by a speaker or in the hallways about how this evolving system would be managed, monitored, diagnosed, or repaired. more»
What economic and social factors are shaping our future needs and expectations for communications systems? This question was the theme of a joint National Science Foundation (NSF) and Organisation for Economic Co Operation and Development (OECD) workshop, held on the 31st January of this year. The approach taken for this workshop was to assemble a group of technologists, economists, industry, regulatory and political actors and ask each of them to consider a small set of specific questions related to a future Internet. Thankfully, this exercise was not just another search for the next "Killer App", nor a design exercise for IP version 7. It was a valuable opportunity to pause and reflect on some of the sins of omission in today's Internet and ask why, and reflect on some of the unintended consequences of the Internet and ask if they were truly unavoidable consequences... more»
As an American, I could go for the ignorant stereotyping of the French. But being the good global citizen I try to be, I'll just see if someone can tell me if I'm missing something here, or if indeed AFNIC has lost its mind. I recently requested for one of my .FR domains to be delegated to new DNS servers. I got everything set up at my new DNS provider. But, AFNIC won't perform the transfer because of the following "fatal" reason... more»
One topic does not appear to have a compellingly obvious localization solution in the multi-lingual world, and that is the Domain Name System (DNS). The subtle difference here is that the DNS is the glue that binds all users' language symbols together, and performing localized adaptations to suit local language use needs is not enough. What we need is a means to allow all of these language symbols to be used within the same system, or "internationalization". more»
In looking at the general topic of trust and the Internet, one of the more critical parts of the Internet's infrastructure that appears to be a central anchor point of trust is that of the Domain Name Service, or DNS. The mapping of "named" service points to the protocol-level address is a function that every Internet user relies upon, one way or another. The ability to corrupt the operation of the DNS is one of the more effective ways of corrupting the integrity of Internet-based applications and services. If an attacker can in some fashion alter the DNS response then a large set of attack vectors are exposed. ...The more useful question is whether it is possible to strengthen the DNS. The DNS is a query -- response application, and the critical question in terms of strengthening its function is whether it is possible to authenticate the answers provided by the DNS. DNSSEC provides an answer to this question. more»
Timothy D. Morgan's recent paper titled, "IPv6 Address Cookies", seeks to apply the fundamental shift in resource availability brought about by the vastly increased Internet address space in IPv6 to develop a novel, lower cost solution to mitigating spoofed attacks. "Spoofed denial of service attacks have plagued the Internet for a number of years, and show no signs of abating. Research into mitigation techniques has apparently not led to a financially viable solution, and new attacks have been discovered in the wild without being widely anticipated". The following provides an introduction to this paper. more»
Many communications networks are constructed for a single form of communication, and are ill suited to being used for any other form. Although the Internet is also a specialized network in terms of supporting digital communications, its relatively unique flexibility lies in its ability to digitally encode a very diverse set of communications formats, and then support their interaction over the Internet. In this way many communications networks can be mapped into an Internet application and in so doing become just another distributed application overlayed on the Internet. From this admittedly Internet-centric perspective, voice is just another Internet application. And for the growing population of Voice over IP (VoIP) users, this is indeed the case... more»
In this article, published in the Federal Communications Law Journal (FCLJ), the authors (Reed E. Hundt and Gregory L.

The following excerpt from the article looks into service competition with respect to VoIP... more»
I'm kinda foxed by the some of the discussion going on about "Net Neutrality". The internet was designed from the outset not to be content neutral. Even before there was an IP protocol there were precedence flags in the NCP packet headers. And the IP (the Internet Protocol) has always had 8 bits that are there for the sole purpose of marking the precedence and type-of-service of each packet. It has been well known since the 1970's that certain classes of traffic -- particularly voice (and yes, there was voice on the internet even during the 1970's) -- need special handling... more»
Without commenting on the particulars as they relate to Goodmail -- especially since I am on the advisory board for Habeas, a competitor -- let me note that public discussion is largely missing the nature of the current Internet mail realities and the nature of the ways we can deal with them.

Simply put, Internet mail needs to sustain spontaneous communications... more»

COLLEGE PARK, Md., Dec. 23, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Martek Biosciences, a company that launched leveraging the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute (Mtech) at the University of Maryland, entered an agreement on December 21 to be acquired by the Dutch company Royal DSM NV for $1.1 billion, the companies jointly announced.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101005/MTECHLOGO)
Martek is the second company sold for more than $1 billion in the past three years that made extensive use of Mtech's venture-building and biotechnology programs during its early stages. Digene Corporation was acquired by Qiagen NV for $1.6 billion in 2007.
Martek is a leader in the innovation, development, production and sale of high-value products from microbial sources that promote health and wellness through nutrition. The company's flagship product is life'sDHA™, a sustainable and vegetarian source of algal docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) important for brain, heart and eye health throughout life for use in infant formula, pregnancy and nursing products, foods and beverages, dietary supplements and animal feeds.
In addition to Mtech's Technology Advancement Program (TAP) incubator, Martek leveraged Maryland Industrial Partnerships (MIPS) funding during the company's early stages to figure out how to scale-up its microbial processes through Mtech's Bioprocess Scale-Up Facility (BSF), which helps companies take bench-top or lab-produced products and prepare them for mass production.
"When I came to Mtech years ago, we had developed this fermentable algae," said Henry "Pete" Linsert, former chairman and CEO of Martek. "We were getting into the next stage where we said 'Will this stuff actually scale-up?' If it doesn't, we thought, if the economics aren't good, if it doesn't make pure products, if the organism doesn't grow, well -- we're sunk. We didn't have the e

Human Rights and (Im)mobility: Migrants and the State in Thailand
Derks, Annuska, SOJOURN: Journal of Social Issues in Southeast Asia
The human rights of low-skilled migrant workers have in recent years become a central issue in the debate about migrants in Thailand. The Thai government, its ministries and departments, human rights groups, international and local organizations and academics have called attention to the importance, limitations and violations of the human rights of migrant workers in the country.
Yet what are these rights? And how are they enacted? This article analyses the different ways in which human rights are conceived in the context of migrant labour in Thailand in order to draw attention to the penetration of the rhetoric of human rights into local parlance, governance and migrant advocacy (Messer 1993, p. 241). Differing, at times contradictory, conceptions of human rights reveal the paradoxical role of the state and the law in the protection of migrants' rights: the state is held accountable for the protection of human rights of migrants residing upon its territory, and at the same time it creates the conditions for the exclusion of those migrants from protection. While most analyses of this exclusion focus on laws, issues of state sovereignty and the political realm, this article highlights more basic processes. Examining the manifestation of exclusion in the lives of Cambodian migrant workers in Thailand and, in particular, the ways in which they seek to enact rights in a situation of apparent rightlessness, it aims to unveil the "chaos of human rights praxis" in everyday migrant life (Goodale 2006, p. 491). I argue that the rights or rightlessness of migrant workers relate not, as is often thought, to migrant "(il)legality" but rather to processes of control and immobilization of migrant labour. The case study of Cambodian migrant workers on the eastern seaboard of Thailand reveals the ways in which, in the context of these processes of immobilization, migrants seek to defy unfair treatment and exploitation through practices, strategies and choices that are, like the migrants themselves, outside the law. These practices, strategies and choices at once challenge and reaffirm migrants' state of exclusion in Thai society.
The data regarding the human rights rhetoric and praxis presented in this article are drawn from a range of sources, including interviews with representatives of international and non-governmental organizations, government policy documents and research reports and newspaper articles on migrant workers in Thailand. Most importantly, the article draws on ethnographic material collected in 2007 and 2008-9 during six months of field research among Cambodian migrant workers in Rayong province, on Thailand's eastern seaboard, and in their home villages in Cambodia. The fieldwork combined participant observation of migrant workers at their work sites and in their living quarters with both informal interviews and in-depth interviews with migrant workers and their families, their employers, local authorities and representatives of migrant-worker support groups.
The Idioms of Migrant Rights
In his speech at the launch of the United Nations Development Programme's 2009 Human Development Report on Overcoming Barriers: Human Mobility and Development (UNDP 2009), former Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva stated,
Migration ... is an expression of the freedom and desire of each individual to seek better opportunities in life, mostly through the exercise of basic human rights, the pursuit of peace, education and employment. As "Thailand" means "the land of the free", it is our Government's policy to ensure that migrants can enjoy their freedom and social welfare in Thailand while their human rights are duly respected. (Abhisit 2009, emphasis added)
These words reveal some interesting dimensions of the way in which former Prime Minister Abhisit and the Thai government conceive of the rights of migrant workers. His statement draws upon the idea of human rights as "given" in two contradictory ways. …

10 Reasons Advisors Need a Business Plan
Is it time to write a business plan for your wealth management firm? How are you going to do it? Now is a great time to get intentional, motivated, and serious about your business direction. Here are 10 reasons financial advisors need a business plan! Grow, roadmap, motivation, vision, marketing, goals, brand, mission, direction, and clarity.
1. Grow your business revenue
Are you happy with your business revenue? Is your revenue stagnant or growing? Motivated, ambitious advisors plan their business growth each year by reviewing results from prior years and deciding where they're going this year. Review the plan!
2. Create a roadmap for future success
When embarking upon a road trip, do you get in your car and go, without a map or a compass? Of course not! So it follows that setting the roadmap for your financial planning business will help you get where you want to go. Review the plan!
3. Get motivated about your business
When was the last time you were excited about your business? When was the last time you celebrated the success you've created from your hard work? Writing a business plan helps you focus and re-engage in the excitement you felt when you decided to start your firm. Review the plan!
4. Build a WEALTHY vision
Create a wealthy vision of your firm 5 years in the future. Create "buy in" from your employees by building a team environment where everyone in your firm shares the joy of growing your firm in the strategic direction of your business vision. Review the plan!
5. Plan your marketing for the coming year
Is your marketing non-existent? Do you need to set a marketing direction and plan each month's activities and tactics? Planning your marketing for the entire year will help your firm stay on track and carry out your strategic vision. Review the plan!
6. Set goals for intentional growth
Intentional growth will help you stay motivated and focused. What do you want to accomplish this year? How much revenue do you want? How many new clients? How much new AUM? What are your goals for professional development? Review the plan!
7. Build a new brand
Many financial firms look the same with similar websites and similar, uninspiring branding. Make this the year that you build a new brand using the value proposition in your business plan to guide you. Review the plan!
8. Decide your business mission
What is the main benefit your client receives from working with your firm? Why are you in business? Get clear on what you do for your clients that they value and make this your business mission. Review the plan!
9. Think strategically about your direction
When was the last time you sat down and thought about your business? When was the last time you set aside time to review what you've accomplished and decide how you're going to proceed going forward? Review the plan!
10. Gain clarity around your "why"
Think deeply about the reason you're in this business. Are you motivated? Are you dedicated to your clients? What gives you satisfaction? Why are you doing this and what do you really want? Review the plan!
Looking to get into Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, or Edward Jones?

Four ideas on how to engage with your customers during the upcoming holiday season.
Many years ago, our lovely receptionist Diane would buy bicycles for foster children in early November and leave them in the reception area. She spent her own money to purchase every one of the bicycles and put them up for display.
As people walked in and out of the office each day, they stopped and looked at the bicycles. Many of us would make a donation that would pay for a part of a bicycle, an entire bicycle, and sometimes multiple bicycles.
Diane left cards for people to sign so recipients would know who the kind donors were. Some donors opted to remain anonymous. Others unable to donate would simply sign the cards. Watching the bicycles being gifted and reading all the cards inspired others to do the same. When Diane was out of bicycles, she purchased more and brought them into the office.
During the holiday season, Diane hosted a party for these young children. The children took the bicycles home, the donors were happy, and a very grateful Diane walked away planning her next act of kindness.
I began working in the office with Diane in 1990. Over the years, the number of bicycles gifted would increase exponentially. Every year, there were more people who wanted to help the foster children. Diane was very kind and was always cheerful to all as we walked in and out of the door. She built relationships with people all year and when it was once again "bicycle season," we all wanted to do something nice for her and support her cause.
As you think about the holiday season and your social media strategy, consider Diane's motives and actions and apply those same ideas and principles to engage with your consumers.
Here are some ideas to consider:
Acknowledge and engage in a dialogue with your customers. You could start by asking them their plans for the holiday season; it could be a destination they are visiting, things they plan to purchase, or time spent with loved ones. Share what you are planning to do and get a conversation going.
As the holiday season approaches, give them things that they can share with friends. You could give them online cards, a holiday game to engage, or even an incentive of sending their friends sample items.
Think about purchasing your own "bicycles." Feature the charity you support or the causes that you endorse, and make an investment in "gifts." You can now ask your consumers if they would like to be part of the team that signs the cards or buys gifts for the recipients.
When you throw the party and give away the gifts, share pictures on the site. You could also get recipients to come up with personally drawn thank you cards – all of which you should consider publishing on your social media sites.
The best holiday marketing strategy is to be genuine, to empathize with your consumers, and make them want to connect with you. Think about what your brand stands for and do something unique to leverage your ability to connect.

Cynthia Drew Pens WHERE DO MISSING THINGS GO?
Cynthia Drew's short stories have appeared in numerous literary journals and magazines and her bestselling novels are available in print and Ebook formats. Her latest book, WHERE DO MISSING THINGS GO? (Legacy Book Publishing), is a delightfully illustrated children's story that not only encourages kids to read but, behind the whimsy, has a more meaningful theme with great messages.
We all lose things... but much to the frustration of parents, kids seem to do it more. In Where Do Missing Things Go? Cynthia has woven tender messages into a whimsical story, filled with cute animal characters, flying socks, and washing machines with faces that make kids laugh and remember its messages. The endearing, upbeat style is beautifully complemented by the colorful illustrations of Bill LaRocque, former cartoonist and illustrator for the Washington Post
While her book begins with finding lost things - socks, keys, glasses, anything missing, it ends with a message that reminds kids that while owning things and keeping track of them makes your life easier and better, nothing is more valuable than friends and family – the things that cannot be bought. It seems only natural that Cynthia's book should be about missing things – since she is an expert at finding things in her work as a practicing Private Investigator.
"Where do missing things go when they just disappear? When possessions go poof? The answers lie here... Glasses and pens, socks, wallets and keys; All are findable and you can do so with ease, when you've read Where Do Missing Things Go?"
The book recently received a Silver award from the Mom's Choice Awards panel, among whose judges are members of PBS's "Reading Rainbow" and the Baby Einstein Project.
Cynthia Drew holds a degree in broadcast journalism and teaches writing at the Reuter Center on University of North Carolina's Asheville Campus. She has co-written a screenplay with her playwright sister that has won awards in several categories. When not working, Cynthia loves to travel, garden and cook, and lives with her photographer husband, Ken, at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains outside Asheville.

Posted November 21, 2012 on AP on Fox
Kobe Bryant scored six of his 25 points in the final two minutes, and the Los Angeles Lakers hung on for a 95-90 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday night in coach Mike D'Antoni's sideline debut. Dwight Howard had 23 points and 15 rebounds despite a horrific 7-for-19 performance at the free-throw line for the Lakers, who have won five of six and moved above .500 since firing Mike Brown. Although D'Antoni is still unsteady on his surgically replaced knee, he coached Los Angeles to a narrow victory that snapped Brooklyn's five-game winning streak. Brook Lopez scored 23 points and Deron Williams had 22 for the Nets, who missed five of their last six shots in their ninth consecutive loss to the Lakers. Pau Gasol and Metta World Peace scored 17 points apiece as the Lakers wrapped up a tumultuous six-game homestand that began with coach Mike Brown's unexpected firing 11 days ago. The Lakers went 4-1 under interim coach Bernie Bickerstaff, but D'Antoni finally took over the benc...

Reviews for PDFescape Extension
49 reviews for this add-on
Does nothing. Rated 1 out of 5 stars
It's an entirely useless Add-on. Does nothing - at all. No change whatsoever to anything anywhere in Firefox except to clutter up the Add-ons page. Is there a point to this add-on?
It's like receiving an empty PDF. What's the point?
Useless Rated 1 out of 5 stars
I hate to write poor reviews, but the PDFescape Extension did nothing. It gave me absolutely no control over the pdf document. I was unable to edit anything.
الشرقيه Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Doesn't save properly, so I lose whatever file I just created. Support is slow to respond and I could not view the trouble ticket in their system.
Didn;t Work Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Sorry, did not work. No button, either. Have to uninstall.
It works for local PDF too. Rated 4 out of 5 stars
I entered the recommended site http://www.pdfescape.com and registered here (it isn't mandatory).
This site fully served me - I uploaded my pdf file and could edit it - to add the text, to erase the part of the text, to add circle etc.
I bookmarked this site and don't understand why I need this addon itself - the bookmark is fully enough.
I thank Red Software for a link to an excellent service
Doesn't open local files. Editing poor. Rated 1 out of 5 stars
The claim that PDFescape can "open and edit PDF files & forms online" means strictly online. If you open a local PDF file with Firefox, PDFescape is not activated. Only if you click a link to a PDF online, do you have the option "Open/Edit in PDFescape". When I tried a PDF link hosted on my own local web server, this option was greyed-out. So, it seems that documents on your own machine are strictly off-limits.
In the editor, modifying existing text doesn't really work. At best, you can overprint your own text on the PDF page, which might be OK to fill in an online form. The Annotation feature works well enough.
Oh well. The price is right.
Works! Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Not the most user-friendly of add-ons. Doesn't seem to do anything at first. You have to browse to www.pdfescape.com to open any PDF files either online or from your PC. But as an integrated cloud solution this is pretty decent with its tiny browser footprint.
Compare with Google Docs which relies on Adobe Reader for its advanced functions e.g. printing. PDFescape doesn't rely on Adobe at all.
Also consider Foxit Reader as a replacement standalone reader, but that is much bigger than PDFescape.
Rather cumbersome and buggy Rated 2 out of 5 stars
Works reasonably well, but not easy to use or completely reliable. Have uninstalled.
Doesn't Open PDF Rated 1 out of 5 stars
This extension doesn't seem to work. With the Adobe Reader plugin disabled and this add-on enabled, PDFs are directed to be downloaded. There are no buttons or menus associated with this add-on that get added to the browser. Had to enabled Adobe to view the PDFs.
Other PDF add-ons have other issues, but at least they all opened PDFs. This one is worthless. (Win 7/ 64 bit)
Fantastic addon Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This addon works like a charm ,very easy and powerfullThis review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.16.1-signed).
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Excellent free pdf editor. fills out my forms. Does more than adobe acorbat reader.
i'm happy, can't beat the price
This add-on sucks Rated 1 out of 5 stars
This add-on slows down your browser speed dramaticly!!! Keep away!!!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.13.1-signed).
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Great app
It does everything I need: appends files, sticky notes, can open PDFs in view or edit style pages...
prety much everything I need it do.
well done
This is Malware Rated 1 out of 5 stars
When a program takes over your browser, thats worse than having a trojan or malware on your computer. This program makes you register (otherwise, it keeps nagging you) and once you are done, it wont let you back to the page you found the PDF on. Talk about USER UNFRIENDLY!
It only took me one try to decide to delete it from my Firefox.
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Great little add-on. Easy to use and love the price =)This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.13.1-signed).
worthy download Rated 4 out of 5 stars
unless you are a complete boob, this is what it says it is. what do people expect from a free program? is giving a fake email address or (god forbid) having to log in really that bad? considering the cost of Acrobat, this is a fine alternative.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.13.1-signed).
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Nags you to register. I don't like it just on principal.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.13.1-signed).
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
I have been working with a year old version (and the product is only 1yr7mo old) and, while it is VERY cumbersome to use, and did not have documentation (the current v0.13, which I JUST installed, claims to have online Help), it is MUCH better than *nothing*. I have four health insurance coverages, and this let me fill out my basic information VERY legibly, saving drudgery and sloppiness.
I am considering the desktop, expanded version, PDFTypewriter.
Useless and pointless Rated 1 out of 5 stars
Absolutely useless. Don't waste your time. If you think you're getting a full fledged editor, think again.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.13.1-signed).

Off the Wall Theatre delivers must-see 'Grey Gardens'
Midway through the first act of the superb "Grey Gardens" now on stage at Off the Wall Theatre, young Edie tries to declare independence from Big Edie, her overbearing mother. It's Little Edie's engagement party, but Big Edie is intent on hogging the spotlight with a recital of favorite songs.
When Little Edie puts her foot down and says "no," Niffer Clarke's Big Edie oozes devastated diva. But Alexandra Bonesho's eager-to-please Little Edie makes clear that the guilt-ridden daughter has it worse. She anxiously tries coaxing Big Edie out of her funk by beginning "Two Peas in a Pod," a loving duet that embodies everything the two women share. »Read Full Article

Ashley and Mark had one of the most unique weddings I've had the opportunity to be a part of. First of all, they had a SURPRISE wedding! 30 of their closet family members and friends were invited to a "party" at Smith & Wollensky, nothing more, nothing less, but approximately 45 minutes into cocktail hour, Ashley snuck away to change into a wedding dress. Most, if not all, of the guests saw it coming, but the confirmation still brought a smile to everyone's face, and I loved being in on the secret!
Their favorite four piece band from New Orleans, Fritzel's New Orleans Jazz Band, also joined in on the festivities, and kept the crowd on their feet throughout the night. Mark and his kids are no novices in the music department either, music filled the night with original songs dedicated to the couple, covers of current favorites, and a clarinet duo by Mark and his daughter.
Finally, I joined Ashley and Mark at their new home (but more accurately) on their beautiful sailboat Hope, for a portrait session and sunset sail around Wings Cove, near the Cape. Seriously, could my job be any cooler!? Thanks for sharing such a neat experience with me!
Ceremony + Reception: Smith & Wollensky
Event Designer: Dwayne Ridgaway
Band: Fritzel's New Orleans Jazz Band

My rambling thoughts on BSG after a full series run-through

Personally, I thought the mystery in that regard was one of the show's strengths, and among its positive contributions to the sci-fi genre. And here I go getting sucked into discussing the merits of the show!
Battlestar Galactica is an inherently conservative show, it is hard to get away from that fact. It is conservative in many ways, it is conservative in its technological assumptions, it is conservative in its philosophy on mankind, on war, and on religion. Most sci fi shows lean towards the athiest liberal audience, BSG goes the other way, sort of in the C.S. Lewis tradition.

Expert Advice
First Look: Sony Action Cam
- Details
- Written by Dave Koons
Sony is making their entrance into the action camera market with the appropriately named "Sony Action Cam". My friends over at ChutingStar loaned me one to try out and see how it stacks up. The Sony Action Cam comes in two models, one that is WiFi enabled and one that is not. I got to play with the WiFi enabled version.
My first impression was that it's small and light with very few buttons. The bottom is curved so it will not stand up on it's own, you must put it in a case of some sort. In other words, you can't just set the camera on the table and press "record" because it will fall over. The clear plastic housing has a flat bottom with a standard camera screw mount, so it can be mounted onto any tripod or camera mount. Once inside the housing there is only one accessible button. Pressing that button turns the camera on and automatically starts recording, pressing it again will stop recording and the camera will automatically power off in 10 or 60 seconds depending on your settings. An attachment screws into the bottom of the housing which allows you to clip it into Sony's self adhesive mounts. This mounting system is a fixed angle system, so placement of the adhesive mounts is crucial. There is a tilt adapter that can be purchased separately that allows for angle adjustment though, and I think the Surfboard mount kit also comes with an angle adapter.
The camera has two viewing angles that can be selected when shooting video, 120 or 170 degrees. When set to 170 there is a lot of "fisheye" distortion, which is to be expected. I don't much care of the fisheye view personally, so I opted for the 120 degree setting. The camera also has with 5 video modes to choose from and the firmware update adds a 6th option. I chose the newest video mode which is 1080 @ 60 fps for my testing.
The WiFi function allows you to remotely view and control the camera using any Android or iOS device. Once you have connected to the camera, you can see a live feed of what the camera is seeing, you can change camera settings or modes, you can start or stop recording, and you can copy videos and images from the camera to your handheld device.
The Setup:
- I mounted the Sony Action Cam side-by-side with a GoPro Hero3 Black edition. They were mounted as close together as I could get them without each camera interfering with the view of the other. Inline image 1
The Test:
- I took a few still images with each camera from the same spot and I videoed a couple of tandem skydives with both cameras. I edited the footage of the tandem skydives in a side-by-side comparison with the GoPro footage on the right and the Sony Action Cam on the left. I'm not even going to include the still image comparison in this article because the difference in resolution is huge.
View the comparison video here: YouTube Video of Sony Action Cam Vs GoPro Hero3 Black
Overall Impressions:
Still images seem to have a lot of contrast and the colors are vibrant when there is adequate light, but photos get very grainy in low light settings. Image size is limited to 2MP (1920 x 1080), so you aren't going to get anything better than what you can get with a basic cell phone camera. If high quality still images are what you are looking for, this is probably not the camera for you.
Video is sharp and the image stabilization works very well. I noticed a little lens flare but it was nothing too extreme and it didn't wash out the rest of the video image. Settings and controls are very intuitive and easy to figure out even without reading the directions. The biggest issue I had was being confident that the camera was recording. If you've ever been anywhere near someone with a GoPro mounted on their head, you are familiar with being asked "am I recording??!?" as they point to their head and wait for your assurance that the little red light is blinking. The Sony has a red light of it's own, but it's on the back of the camera and difficult to see when it's in the housing. So you are limited to either hitting record before putting on your helmet, or just having faith that you pressed the button hard enough. And if you press the record button too hard, the camera housing can pop right out of the adhesive mount (you have been warned).
You might notice that you can hear the tandem student screaming in freefall in the second video. The audio was picked up by the Sony camera but not the GoPro. I don't know why, they are both sealed inside waterproof housings, but the Sony seems to pick up audio when surrounded by extremely loud white noise.
The Sony has a few quirks that might take a little adjusting to get used to but overall I really like this camera, especially for the price.
- Inexpensive
- WiFi remote is reliable and easy to use (requires Android or iOS device, this is not a wrist-wearable remote)
- Simple one-button operation
- Image stabilization works extremely well
- Clip mount is not as secure as it should be
- No outward indicator when it is recording
- Still images are low quality

Balmoral has about 12 million outstanding warrants exercisable at 94 cents and expiring today (Nov. 9, 2012). As the share price traded well above the .94 level (hitting $1.10) and traded around the $1.00 range for the month of September with good volume, most of those warrants should be exercised by now. Once the warrant overhang is out, this should bode very well for the stock and should go a lot higher.
