Yoics Delivers Free Remote Desktop Sharing for Macs, Linux and PCs

Yoics!I just signed up for a new Beta service called Yoics today. (I wonder how that is pronounced by the way?)

The underlying technology appears to be VNC, which I appreciate because it is a mature technology. But it seems they’ve managed to make it extremely simple to use.

Yoics allows you to share not only your remote machine’s desktop, but also the drives in your machine and even devices like Webcams!

I guess it takes practice to master any skill, but seriously… this guy must have practiced a LOT! I’ve never seen a remote controlled airplane do anything like the stunts this guy performs – much less doing them inside a gym where you could hit walls, the ceiling and the ground.

I’m no pilot, but for Christmas I did get two new awesome remote control toys: A Blade CX2 electric helicopter and an AeroBird Swift electric airplane. These are not the cheap kind you get at Toys R Us, but the high end ones that come only from hobby stores. Having never owned any high-end R/C [...]

Remote Controlled Heli-fun!

September 23, 2006

Remote control cars and planes are cool, but there is nothing like being able to fly a remote control helicopter around inside your house. Of course, if you’re going to do that, you’ll need one of these special new RC units with the dual rotors and built in fuzzy logic chip. This sucker will buy [...]
