I Welcome Our New Drone Overlords: Automotons To Fly Crap Like Newspapers To You Soon
bzzzzZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz
Drones have been getting a real negative rap in the media over the past few years.

In one of the weirdest turns in the rise of Facebook’s power, Ceglia declared that Zuckerberg owed him 50% of the company because of a contract related to some work Mark had done for him back in the early days of Facebook. Facebook, in turn, laughed off the case and Ceglia’s claims. So did the forensics experts.
