" Something I think Iran won't be doing unless they want to deal with every country in the region."

  Which is something we will never have to deal with because the worlds greatest spy network (Israel) will assure that all expenditures made toward nuclear proliferation are wasted at the most optimum timeline.

  If that had or will happen, chances are the world won't ever know.

"Some have worried drones could be used to leer at unsuspecting beachgoers or to see inside the homes lining the shore.

The wide angle lenses on the majority of prosumer/consumer devices make concerns over privacy ridiculous. And finally it's not a drone unless it's flying autonomously. Here it's a quadcopter with FPV video.

Video More About Dan Shapiro and the Glowforge CNC Laser Cutter (Video #2) 25

Yesterday Glowforge Co-Founder and CEO Dan Shapiro told us that the Glowforge machine is a CNC laser cutter and engraver, not a 3-D Printer -- even though the first words on Glowforge's main page are, "The First 3D Laser Printer," a description Dan says is there for people not familiar with things like laser cutters and 3-D printers, who want to call the Glowforge a 3-D printer even though people who know about this stuff know what it is at first glance. He also talks about his previous startup, Robot Turtles; what it is, how it came to be, and why kids like it so much. This interview is worth watching (or reading) for the Robot Turtles section alone, especially if you have children or are thinking about designing board games for kids.

"I am a fixed-wing pilot, anything that can fly through my window at 140MPH pisses me off. Birds are bad enough, but at least they're not metal."

  How often do you fly in uncontrolled airspace at less than 800' agl without major focus on your field of travel? Because if something "flies through your window at 140mph" in uncontrolled airspace, I would have to blame that on pilot error. And, surely that something could not be a DJI Quadcopter because their flight control systems won't allow function in ANY airports controlled airspace (much less approach path). In addition, within a 5 mile ring they limit altitude to 500" agl http://www.dji.com/fly-safe/ca....

And

"âoeThe FBI makes this proposal to look like theyâ(TM)re looking for a simple law to add a simple feature,â says Robert Graham, CEO at Errata Security. âoeBut when you look into it, what theyâ(TM)re really asking for is dramatic, itâ(TM)s a huge thing. Theyâ(TM)d need to outlaw certain kinds of code. Possessing crypto code would become illegal.â

  But that boat has sailed, just ask Zimmerman.
