That sent a very real chill up my spine. Also the first and last sentences of the video.

This is the next generation of surveillance

we're moving to an increasingly electronic society where our movements are going to be tracked

This was published on youtube in Jan. I can't imagine what the current advanced prototypes that are highly classified are capable of. Well I probably can, but ignorance is bliss.

A friend of mine just posted about seeing one flying overhead at the NASCAR race in Texas earlier today.

A solar powered version which can stay up for years? Wow.

Make my HD stuff look pretty lame.

and just think....this is what they are allowing us to know ;)

i see them all the time. we are the drone capitol for research and production. some of these are much larger than you might imagine.

I think the greatest civilian applicationis still to come, the pizza drone.

Someone's behind the times.

Pizza drone

The pizza drone will only be made to distract us from the surveillance drone. Turns out Orwell and Huxley were both right.

crazy stuff

I want one.
I'm way more trustworthy than the government, just less well funded
(Not the pizza drone, I don't eat pizza... possibly a retasked one though)

Don't eat pizza? Do you also not drink water, nor breathe air?

In reply to Kenny_McCormic: If we are going to have the bad we may as well get the good too.

Nah, gave it up almost 10 years ago, was the first step in stopping being a fatass.

(Went from a sedentary 250 to a very active ~200 (@ 6'3'') in two years, I'll be damned if I let myself go again)
