Mom! The drone is here!

Think of the possibilities with this technology. You're on a flight from L.A. to New York and your "captain" is in a bunker somewhere near Omaha. :eusa_doh::eeek:

Walmart is going to have anti-Amazon missiles:

So no need to get your ammunition. Your local Walmart is happy to help out!

ETA: I love that whomever photoshopped this chose a Canadian Walmart.

And this is how this thing is supposed to work.

I showed this video to my cats a while back and it really had a possitive effect on their behavior. No more clawing of furniture, throwing up or peeing on rugs, walking across keyboards while I'm typing, etc...now they're good little kitties.

This was brilliant marketing by the folks at Amazon. They even convinced 60 minutes to cover it and now the entire country, including we FLers, are speaking about it, and them, and at Christmastime!

I don't think that they have any intention of trying to make this thing a reality; at least not across the board.

Absolutely: marketing genius. Taken the "concept car" model and run with it...

I like the idea myself, but I don't see it coming to fruition any time soon. Security is the biggest issue... danger of some moron shooting my drone down and stealing my book! I still prefer books and mortar, but the fact of the matter is there's so much I can simply never find there. It's worse with music for the most part, especially since the likes of HMV abandoned selling records to sell a billion copiez of the same crappy Hollywood top ten films, and endless variations on ipod speakers...

I'm sorry, that's just nuts! haha I don't know that I'd even want to touch it, never mind put it together. hahaha
