I'm now starting to wonder how long it will be before a consumer can buy an armed drone. But until that happens Secom has announced they now have the first personal security drone on market that will hunt down burgers or boys hoping to talk to your daughter through her window. Costing a whopping $6K with a monthly support cost of $41, this level of security doesn't come cheaply. But having a drone launch off the roof of a house is a far more proactive, intimidating form of security than the best alarm system. For those that remember the early days of media streaming on the internet, today's smooth access to high-quality, high resolution video is borderline magical. Take Netflix, for example. The popular web streaming service is readily available from practically any device-from mobile phones to every major gaming console-and it's able to deliver content with few hiccups to users all over the world, even those stuck with low bandwidth internet access. And yet, according to the latest reports, Netflix feels it can do better. If Elon Musk ultimately fulfills his dream of making mankind a multi-planetary species, historians will look back on the evening of December 21, 2015 as a significant milestone.

It is the first time a rocket stage has been flown and recovered in commercial operations and opens to door for drastically lowering the cost of putting satellites and people into space. It's time for annual predictions. Rather than trying to consult a crystal ball, I will instead offer up five things I see today that I believe will shape our tomorrow. They say history repeats itself, but the signs coming out of Wall St. are reminding analysts of a history many don't want to repeat. Adjusted financial reporting is making a comeback as hundreds of companies in the United States have resorted to financial shell games in their corporate earnings reports. By using these numbers, companies are able to present improved statistics in the form of 'adjusted' net income, 'adjusted' sales, and 'adjusted Ebitda'. The changes have allowed some companies to see the illusion of double digit improvements. Over-the-top (OTT) television has been a big topic for a long time.

But a new report from Paywizard suggests that, while OTT may be popular this Christmas, it may not be by next Christmas.
