I was given the Foscam C1 Lite and Foscam FI9800P to Review, and might I say, these are two fair cameras for the price but both have their pro’s and con’s and the cloud service and software itself turned out to be one of the biggest hangups that I had with the product.

How Different Online Games are Put Together

by

Online video games are quite unlike the games that many of us grew up playing. Once upon a time the game you got on the disk was the finished product – there were no DLC packs, no patches and bug fixes, and no ongoing support.

Unlike current internet technology that uses radio waves to transmit the data from place to place, this technology uses a light bulb. Or rather one outfitted with “LI-FI” components.
