Add FLIR capability to your iPhone 5

I have to say, this is pretty freakin' sweet.  The MSRP is $349, which is less than I would have expected.  Slap one of these on your iPhone and become like the Predator. Shoulder cannon not included.

I don't have a smart phone, but that sure makes it tempting.

It's cool, but with the short life-span of phones, it seems like a lot of money to spend knowing that the supporting technology will be outdated within 2 years or less.

I suppose for this purpose alone, you could just keep your old phone around after it becomes unsupported.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

That is interesting. Hopefully a bit less pricey on Amazon.
In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

Cheaper than the $2k conventional unit I've been pointlessly drooling over.

No Android version?

No adapter for rifles?   :D

Dammit. They better hurry on that one. Of course, then I'd have to buy a rifle to put it on...

Those boating accidents take their toll, don't they?
