I do not know if this image will post, but I think my son would purchase something from Amazon everyday just to watch the drones land. ...it would land, right?
What if you purchased something really heavy? Ya Can't go dropping heavy stuff.
I see a new insurance niche.

Here is the news link ;

I heard that the packages were limited to 10 pounds ~ 90% of their boxes are under that already. Also you would have to live within 10 miles of the distribution center to get drone delivery.

I'm thinking the drones could knock someone over coming in for a landing or getting smashed by trunks during heavy traffic. Personally I'd rather wait for the package delivered in the usual manner. I don't this the drones will last in this capacity.

Amazon has no real plans of this seeing the real world. This is just a publicity stunt aimed at showing shipping companies that they have the money to spend to bypass them unless they give them the right deals on shipping.

"[COLOR=333333]Night Watch" by Rembrandt, brought to life[/COLOR] [COLOR=333333] The Rijksmuseum museum in Holland had an idea: Let's bring the art to the people and then, hopefully, they will come to see more - at the museum. They took one Rembrandt painting from 1642, Night Watch and brought to life the characters in it, placed them in a busy mall and the rest you can see for yourself![/COLOR]

There is even a chicken!

AWESOME!

Just caught this in my greenhouse. It was building tunnels and eating my birdseed. This cage is 6" wide. It has been relocated to a heavily wooded area miles away with no houses nearby.

I remember the time, i worked in Moscow in Macdonald`s (i sell there sandwiches), but my job was after 24:00. I don`t live in the Moscow, i get to the train (i live near of Moscow), but the train has gone yet! I waited new train 4 hours, and walked in the streets in the night. Threre was one big market, in the night it are closed. But... I have seen there hundrets on maybe 1000 rats! They was so big and i think that they dont have any problems width my steps there, i walk and the rats walked near of me (and the rats think: "what idiot walk on our marcet"). In the morning all the rats runned anywhere. After this time i never go to this marcet, i think that the food there are too dirty.

In my house sometimes enter any rat, but i use the poisons... I don`t like when the rats walk on my tables in the kitchen.

I was thinking they either did the press release for it on May the 1st. My second thought was someone with a shotgun in the flight path would be very rich!
