Taking remote controlled toys to the next level, the Parrot AR Drone Quadricopter is the first quadricopter to be controlled by an iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad. For those without any of those devices, there are other ways to control it, such as using a Linux PC, a controller/joystick, and the freely available AR.Drone Navigation software as seen in the video below:

It also has it’s own built-in Wi-Fi network so you can connect with other Drone owners to play multiplayer games, such as AR Pursuit, which allows Drone users to battle with each other.

Ooma, like MagicJack is a VoIP service which allows you to save on your monthly phone bills. Ooma has recently introduced the new Ooma Telo system, but there are some good reasons to try and get an old Ooma Core (Hub & Scout) system while you still can. With the introduction of the Ooma Telo, they are imposing a regulatory fee of $11.75 per year, which is still a great deal compared to paying a monthly fee. Those who buy and activate the old Ooma Core System before December 31, 2009 can continue to receive completely free phone service (unless you upgrade to premier) without the fees.

For the details on how the current terms affect current & new customers, you can read more on the Ooma blog, but disregard any of the information regarding voicemail service because as of October 21, 2009, Ooma announced that voicemail would be free for all users.

To be honest, I never used Vista myself once it became available at retail. Once in a while, Microsoft comes out with a dud of an OS and Vista was one of them (along with Windows Me). The beta version of Vista really deterred me from it more than anything and it didn’t seem much more promising once it was ready for retail. So I avoided Vista like the plague and it was the reason I opted for a netbook instead of a laptop because they came with XP instead of Vista.

On the other hand, Windows 7 has gotten a lot of praise. It’s what Vista should have been. Windows 7 is less of a resource hog and can run fairly smoothly on lower spec’d machines compared to its predecessor.

If you haven’t given it a try yet, stop by your local electronics store and just mess around with any of their display models that have Windows 7 installed. That’s really one of the best ways to try it first without spending any money.

For those who are ready to take the plunge, consider the upgrade version. It’ll save you money over buying the full version.

For previous owners of Vista Home Premium (or better versions), you may be eligible for a FREE upgrade from Microsoft. Check out the details here. Microsoft’s upgrade program ends January 31, 2010.

If you aren’t eligible, click on the links below to order your Windows 7 upgrade today! Or scroll down even further to see current eBay listings.

Windows 7 Home Premium makes it easy to create a home network and share all of your favorite photos, videos, and music. You can even watch, pause, rewind, and record TV. Get the best entertainment experience with Windows 7 Home Premium. Do you use your PC for work, run Windows XP programs, or require enhanced security? Consider Windows 7 Professional.
