DJI’s Phantom line of consumer drones is the 800-pound gorilla of the industry. And now, the company’s latest flying machine, the Phantom 4 Pro, looks like it’s poised to be the new king of the skies. The Phantom 4 Pro is an upgrade from last year’s Phantom 4. You can now fly a full 31 miles per hour while obstacle avoidance is engaged. Previously, if you wanted to go that fast, you had to put the drone into Sport Mode, which disengaged crash avoidance.

Review: Acer Swift 7

What"s New ·

2016/11/16

Acer says its latest ultrabook, the Swift 7, offers “unprecedented portability.” The basis for this claim? A laptop that is 12mm thick at its widest point and under 10mm thick if you ignore the rubber feet. That is thin! How thin? It’s thinner than an Apple MacBook Air (18mm) and thinner than the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 (15mm with keyboard). At 10mm, it flirts with the thickness of many tablets, and is even thinner than some models on the market. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

From its depths spring images of creaky lighthouses and buried towers, great beasts moaning at dusk, and a brightness that grows inside you—just some of the features that haunt Area X, the mysterious wilderness at the center of his Southern Reach trilogy.

2016/11/14

Juan Diego Calle’s grandfather bought a sky blue FJ40 Land Cruiser in 1968. He kept it for 14 years, then sold it and bought a sky blue 1982 FJ40. When he died, Juan’s cousin restored the old Toyota and showed it to Juan and his brother Nelson. “When we saw the work,” Juan says, “we said, ‘We have to own our grandfather’s truck.'” They brought the Land Cruiser from Bogota to Miami, and soon had the itch to restore more of the faithful old SUVs.

2016/11/11

In his first address as president-elect, Donald Trump played the platitudes. He spoke of being a president for all Americans, of healing divisions, of unleashing potential. He avoided specifics of any kind beyond a few key areas, including infrastructure. “We are going to fix our inner cities and rebuild our highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, schools, hospitals,” Trump said. “We’re going to rebuild our infrastructure, which will become, by the way, second to none.
