Amazon Drone
Shilling for the new provider of the paycheck. I can't wait for the episodes of "Top Gear Uncensored" I know it will not be called that but it should be funny.

I can't wait to own one. Does anyone know where the tracking device is?

I wonder if it can detect and avoid buckshot.

Wonder how many of these will get popped out of the sky for their cargo.

How hard would it be to take control of one? Like the rebels in Oblivion.

If it flies along at 400 feet it will be almost invisible unless you are out looking for it with binoculars knowing it is coming close. If it flies to right over the landing spot and comes straight down very few people will see it at all.

Actually rather LARGE... I don't know why but I was expecting smaller drones.
Seems legit. After seeing that I think they're actually seriously considering this as a service. If nothing else it should be entertaining.

I find it easier to simply shoot vending machines for free stuff. (gti)
Seriously, however, I expect that eagles will take these out of the sky more so than Elmer Fuds

I think it will be more fun to hack them. Have to add that old court case where you own the 63 ft above your property. Sooo this will get interesting. Hack, block, jam the signal, and these things can take you out.
