Court order stops Bitcasa from deleting your cloud data, for now
If you’re miffed that Bitcasa not only dropped its unlimited cloud storage option but made you migrate to a costlier limited tier just to keep your files, you’ll be glad to hear that you’re getting a reprieve. Angry customers have filed a tentative class action lawsuit against Bitcasa for allegedly breaching its contract through the sudden switch. In tandem with the suit, the court handling the case has granted a restraining order that forces Bitcasa to save those files until at least November 20th. That’s not exactly a long interval, but there’s a hearing on the 19th that could extend the grace period further.
The complaint isn’t meant to make Bitcasa change its mind and bring back its Infinite service. At the moment, attorneys are focused on compensation and giving subscribers enough time to get all their files. As you might imagine, that could take a while when people paid for unrestricted online space. There’s no certainty that the lawsuit will succeed, but it might serve as a warning to other internet storage outlets that are thinking of scaling back their features.

DJI Inspire 1 Removes the Legs from Your Drone Shots
Anyone that has tried to strap a camera to a drone for some sweet aerial video goodness has run into a similar issue: drone hardware makes for bad filming angles. The engineers at DJI have tried to solve this issue with their DJI Inspire 1 model. What sets this drone apart from the others in the industry is that its carbon fiber landing gear is designed to fold up, allowing for a full unencumbered 360 degree view. What kind of camera is it protecting itself from? Just one that shoots 4K video at 30fps or 1080p video at 60fps and takes 12 megapixel stills. Pairing its dual controllers with full functioning Android or iOS apps allows two operators to control flight and filming simultaneously. Pick up the DJI Inspire 1 for either $3399 for the dual controller model or $2899 for one with a single controller.
