Step 1: Line up 23 Dutch lunatics in the middle of a road. Step 2: Get someone to drive a 62.3-ton Leopard tank at full speed on that road only to activate the emergency brakes just a few meters from the 23 lunatics. There’s no step 3. Just pray that you don’t end up with three thousand pounds of human jam.

Logitech ConferenceCam CC3000e Is An Affordable Yet Powerful Video Conferencing Solution
Posted in: Today's Chili
Professional video conferencing or telepresence solutions from the likes of Cisco or Polycom often tend to be expensive, which means that they don’t exactly fit in the range of small or medium businesses. Logitech intends to bridge that gap with its new video conferencing solution called the ConferenceCam CC3000e. It lets up to ten people turn a conventional meeting room into a full blown video-enabled collaboration room. This all-in-one solution offers 1080p HD video and enterprise quality audio, at under $1,000.

The ratings haven’t been that bad, but the buzz has. I know hardly anyone who admits to watching and liking “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Well, building a TV show around a beloved but essentially one-joke character and his army of men in black was never going to be easy. Agent Coulson has been a surprise standout of the Marvel movie series, but he’d always been effective in small doses. For this they had to figure out how to make him and S.H.I.E.L.D. into a full meal. Still, Clark Gregg is great, and Joss Whedon was involved — so what went wrong?
Mostly, the writers of the ABC show did what you’d expect. They came up with some more character traits for Agent Coulson; gave him a cute supporting cast; tried to flesh out S.H.I.E.L.D. a bit without killing its mystique; and threw in an audience identification character to ground it all. But now that character’s been revealed as so much more than that.
