uber american david mcdonald has left the building. that's right, pelco, america's big fat security camera company has sold...to a french company. will the cameras surrender when they spot something dangerous? just kidding, i love the french. i really do.
former pelco owner mcdonald had been denying the rumors of the sale for a while now. i guess he didn't want it to be some sort of public fiasco (see trump & running horse) if it didn't work out right.
i wonder if this will change the corporate culture @ pelco. i don't speak from personal experience, but the few people i have spoken to that worked there really felt the need to toe the pelco (and conservative) line, to support what mcdonald supported (measure z).
on a sidenote, the university i work @ has many pelco cameras. maybe they're the wrong ones for their particular applications (i don't know), but they're terrible quality. you can see someone breaking into a car, but you can't get a good enough look to identify them. or, you can see a truck driving off campus with stolen goods, but can't read the license plate. cutting edge stuff, really.

Ricky Bobby: You say you're French?
Jean Girard: Oui.
Ricky Bobby: We? No, we are not French. We're American, because you're in America, okay? Greatest country on the planet.
