I ordered one of these today because I was so impressed with the quality of the 360° video it shoots. One of my students in the boating class last weekend had one.

I ordered from B&H, which was the same price as #Amazon. But B&H shipped it with two day delivery without me paying them $150/year for the privilege. When I order from Amazon, I typically get what I buy in 7 days. #SayNoToAmazon #CancelPrime

Apple has once again claimed the top spot as the world's most valuable brand, with estimated worth at a staggering $1.29 trillion— 12% of the value of the entire top 100 list, for the fourth year running.

#Google, worth $944.1 billion
#Microsoft, worth $884.8 billion
#Amazon, worth $866.1 billion
#Nvidia, worth $509.4 billion
