This is silly and wasteful. .55 lbs is well within the toy range. Good old American Moral Panic. (Remember when it was chewing gum?)

You know what else is dangerous to aircraft near the ground? Water balloons, catapults with rocks, baseballs, kites, and the toy R/C aircraft we've had for decades that have always been much harder to fly safely. What makes one toy copter a 'drone' (ooh, scary word!) and another not?

And if someone really wants to fly irrespnsosibly, they're not going to display the number on the toy anyway.

Regulate big unmanned aircraft. Not toys. Prosecute anyone who interferes with an airport.

Don't make this more complex than it needs to be. The real problem: R/C toys have seen a surge in popularity due to cost/ease improvements. Anything that is popular will sometimes be used badly. But what, really, is the scale of this problem? How many incidents?

Seems more reasonable to register skateboard owners. I bet they cause many more accidents. Rollerblades too. Also frisbees.

Apple News of the ones listed. Unfair advantage with OS integration, but I do like it. But my REAL choice is Other: Feedly and good old RSS.

Siri vs. Now is one thing.

But I also use dictation often to do searches, and Apple gets my words right most of the time, while Google almost never does. When Apple gets something wrong, I speak more carefully the second time and it works. With Google (searching in the YouTube app comes to mind) I can try, try again and just never get anything close to the words I spoke. In addition, Google responds much more slowly than Apple does. (I'm a native English speaker with no unusual accent.)

So either Google's not all they're cracked up to be or (unlikely) they intentionally make their voice tech fail in their iOS apps. I haven't tested the Android versions.

But two heads are better than one! The most common use I have for Siri: hold phone to my eat and say "Google search ___________." Great time saver!
