I don't particularly care for the whole "dronevolution", but that was pretty neat!

The solution for this particular problem is a shotgun.

OK, that's cool. It's a step up from sky writing the way a movie is from a photograph.

Oh no, I just realized this could be used for night time advertising. Just fly drones in a pixel like formation and display advertising. I really hope this doesn't happen.

I'm in an odd mood, the first thing that sprang to mind was an idea for a new B-grade movie remake of Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Birds' but with swarms of mini drones run amok due to (shakes magic 8-ball).........a computer virus.

Wow I'm thinking 5 million of these could play a flying movie, the ultimate big screen flying around above a city...never saw this coming....

A smaller version is sure to debut at the next superbowl....
