DailyDirt: The Drones Are Coming

from the urls-we-dig-up dept

We've talked about all kinds of drones before and about the FAA restrictions on using the more toy-like versions outdoors. Sometimes people do stupid stuff with drones -- and it really doesn't help to create an environment where people can enjoy drones responsibly. However, people will always do stupid things, and we can't let the jerks ruin it for the rest of us. After you've finished checking out those links, take a look at our Daily Deals for cool gadgets and other awesome stuff.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    The Daily Show

    That story about the gyrocopter, see if you can find "The Daily Show" coverage of it from a few days ago. Especially if you'd like to see how crappy the secret services are becoming.

    Soo drones are real?

    Seriously, no victim no crime. Sounds like a bunch of fear mongering.

    Just wait

    Everything needed to create Pico-drones already exists. Dust mote size drones will someday be everywhere and just a part of life.

    Not waiting

    If you know that there is the capability then it is already out there and in active use by our insecurity services.

    Remember that drones came out of re - purposing off the shelf hobby equipment
