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!!!

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?
