They're getting pretty cheap and small sparkfun[^] is the first that comes to mind because they sent an email not long ago advertising one for the raspberry pi. Don't know what payload restrictions are but it should be doable.

Ok, these are very small and weigh little, but they will not be able to compensate motion or vibration.
The Blade 450 can carry a little more, like one of those.[^]
I love the quality of this video[^]

Yeah GoPro's are awesome I've been hiking with people that had them and the quality is very good.
Didn't know the chopper had that much lift?, the only other thing I might do is mount the camera to a pivot plate so it would stay level at all times.
A little pricier than the home made but much less hassle.

Cool bird. Is that Nano flybar-less?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Yes, collective pitch and no flybar. The only downside is the short flying time you get out of the batteries. Just 4 - 6 minutes. At least the batteries don't cost much and I will try out the 200 mAh batteries instead of the stock 150 mAh batteries.

I've seen online a whole new line of helis without flybars. I think they have onboard electronics that helps you to fly them, cause otherwise they would be too unsteady.

The good old Bell stabilisation with weights at the end of the flybar or Hiller stabilisation with paddles already worka quite well. I don't really mind flying the oldfashioned way.
Still, flybarless means that you have less to repair after a rough lanfing, the stabilisation costs less agility, but also the electronics are more expensive. They are good helis, but of little benefit in the hands of an inexperienced pilot.

What's next? Will there soon be a meth team to do the tweaking?

Judging by the picture of the crazy looking hamsters chewing on computer parts when something unexpectedly went fubar, I'd think they are permanenly "methed" up!

Nah - they still have teeth.
You do not want to see what regular crystal use does to your teeth.

They may still have teeth, but only because, as most rodents do, they have teeth that are constantly growing.

When I first saw that picture, I thought...
 The hairy cousins of the gremlins are here... Or are they the little brothers of the creeters??

According to Ke$ha love is a drug.
Fortunately for you, there is no law against love and no one has ever overdosed.
Take another hit - it's low calorie and it's good for you.

No I'm not googling, my wife is in the same room.

Microsoft has made a lot of mistakes recently. It appears to be completely out of touch with its customers (Win8 UI, Windows RT, Xbox One, Win 8.1 start button, etc.), and its alienating its developers (Windows phone, XNA, Win8.1 RTM TechNet/MSDN access, etc.).
Does anyone else out there think they're watching an entire organization that's making major, potentially business-killing mistakes, because its an organization under extreme stress?
In the past, buying a machine with a windows OS on it was a no-brainer for me as it was the only OS that I knew would run all the programs I was interested in today, and might be interested in running in the future. Given what I've observed of them recently, and especially the Win 8.1 RTM/MSDN fiasco, I'm even starting to wonder if my recent Windows OS purchases were the right choice.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

I remember when they introduced the Ribbon in Office. I hated it. Most people, at least that I knew, did not like it at first. But it turns out I like it a lot more and I think most people do now too.
I know that is small in comparison to all of your examples but sometimes we just get too used to things to recognize that there are better ways of doing things.
I certainly don't feel alienated by Microsoft but then again, except for .Net, I don't really follow them much anymore.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
