For those techies who think these drones are cold and a great idea, think again. These things pose a huge privacy issue.
I personally never thought about since all the drone videos I have seen were of public events and such and I never saw one live action. Well last night the wife and I had one of these buzzing our neighborhood during out walk. At first, I could barely hear it and took a little time to locate it, this one had blinking LEDs making it a little easier to locate in the sky. It mainly stayed above the tree tops, then whomever was controlling it, decided to buzz the house and flew it between the homes and such. Once the wife realize this thing had a camera on it and how easily if could fly up to a window she freaked out, to say the least. We looked all over and could not find the person who was flying this thing.
Yeah it is cool they could fly over apple campus, but obviously people can now begin doing other things with this kind of technologies that could not be done before. It is make it far easier for creepy people to do creepy stuff.
There's a good case for banning them completely in any built-up area.
Can't believe the slow reporting of this site myself. For speedy updates on Apple news, go to that site. That return here after a few days to read the user comments, because those are very informative here.
What was the reason again that an URL gets pear-shaped when linking a 9to5 article?
The same reason that bees get in bonnets, particularly from petulant posters.
