By the way I have seen video demonstrations of these gizmos and they are quite impressive.

Saw something similar on the BBC's Click programme yesterday. These drones are controlled via your iPhone, not cheap tho - around £299 each.

Like MicroSoft, Google is too large and needs to be broken up. I don't care if they have broken new ground, invested their own money, or taken risks.

We want them to do one thing....give the rest of us a chance, or your money.

Heh. At some point there will be cameras flying around the size of insects!!!

I think I'll get myself a shotgun, somehow. A Tunguska probably is out of my reach. An ICBM that could reach Google HQ I also would not say No to, if it's for free.

I saw a docu today about space debris, from malfunctioning satellites to tiny tids and bits the size of 1mm in diameter. The waste flood up there is almost no longe trackable and controllable. The perspective that our oh so high tech madness maybe could get grounded because of space pollution was an idea i took some queer comfort from.

Google, a tool just like many other players in the market
 
right of exploitation as they earn your interests well.

An MG-42 or 44 should be within your reach.

Bamboo stick wrapped in a vine, filled with charcoal, surfer, potassium nitrite, and rocks. :O:

I read a theory that one major collision could result in debris hitting other objects creating a domino effect that would wipe out all the satellites in LEO.

Or a Mosin Nagant or PPSh-41. Sky should be able to find ammo for any of those just by digging in his back yard. :03:

Unfortunately the only way to do that is with government, and government has also become too large and needs to be broken up. Who's going to do that for us?
