This is not going to end well. Simply because people have a knack for screwing around with things that don't belong to them. Amazon is going to lose most of them in the first week.
This is the most ridiculous concept ever and I'm baffled that people actually think this is such an awesome or good idea. My first thoughts are this:
1) These things will be nothing more than target practice to gun toting nuts and a******s, and anyone who wants to steal your crap.
2) These things have 8 sharpened propeller blades that just zip down and land on your doorstep where your kids might be playing.
3) What in the hell are you supposed to do with that orange "box" that it leaves at your door? It's not like a cardboard box you can toss as a recyclable.
4) What's to stop them from having a monitoring system on these things for "security" that essentially allows Amazon who create an actual Skynet overhead?
5) How awesome will these things sound buzzing and whining through your neighborhood?
What the actual f*** people?

Also, wherever this thing takes off from and gets it to you in 30 minutes...is it REALLY that much harder to have it freaking delivered that day in a truck? Or god forbid the next day?
What a f***ing joke.
What a f***ing joke.
At first i thought it was a bad idea now that i read your post i think it's a great idea.
I bet not, you're porbably leaving all kinds of radiation and with my gas, that's doubly deadly to the environment.
Oh I was thinking solar powered teleportation. My bad, I should have been more clear. The gas could still be a problem though.
Perhaps I should switch to solar powered chicken alfredo pasta.
My latest Amazon purchase was packaged so haphazardly that I wouldn't doubt that electronics would just fall out of the sky.
Is that really what it looks like....I could see people getting killed from one of those things.
Please, do not let it be true! This is so... silly. I mean... really?Imagine if someone uses Drone as a bomb or something.
Well they did say they want to release this in the next 5 years. Chances are the look of this drone will change considerably between now and then.
I think I'll start building a landing pad for it. I hope the apartment complex doesn't mind my rearranging the landscaping out front.
This concept will probably never take off. The first time one accidentally lands into a power line or lands onto a moving vehicle- causing an accident, and it's done. The unmanned navigation will require more than Google Maps to land it's execution. In a way, it reminds me of the 1950/60's flying car concepts that we would have today, which would not work with the unfortunate masses of ignorant people we have in our society. Hip in concept, failure in reality.

Player No. 13!!! Dude, I have not heard from you for a long time!
What you up to, man?
Work, family life, and playing video games when time permits. Generally time spent in that order, even though I wish I could switch the first two around.
Since TXB, I haven't really frequented forums of any kind anymore. Glad to see there is hope for something like what I remember of the good times at TXB where here.
I'd like to have time to mock the Amazon air drone video using my son's Air Hogs Helicopter and a whiffle ball bat, but I do not have time (sadly). Surely the internet will produce something soon..
