CBS’ Sixty Minutes ran a piece on the planned Amazon drones delivery service, Amazon Prime Air. Which caused a flurry of comment…

I want to embrace the Amazon drone after it delivers a USB stick containing only Vangelis’ “Love Theme from Blade Runner”

Amazon Drone Delivery. You wanted that copy of Dora the Explorer in less than 30 minutes. Now a robot just crashed through your damn roof.

Is this Amazon Drones thing serious, or just a PR gag for Xmas? I honestly can’t tell at this point.

I’d care way more about amazon drones if I could shout “to me, mjolnir” during a bar fight and they’d drop a hammer out of the sky to me

I would use Amazon Prime Air to regularly drop bad comics on @theisb

I guess Amazon using drones is a big deal but I'd be more interested if they hired bright-haired rollerbladers to skate through my dreams.

the sequel to the abandoned kid story is the YA novel about a plucky young do-gooder orphan and her pet hacked amazon drone

So, why didn’t science fiction foresee people shooting Amazon Prime drones out of the sky as a way to get new books?

I want the amazon drones more than I’ve ever wanted anything. Go fuck yourself, hoverboard.
— Andy Khouri (@andykhouri) December 2, 2013
So I guess that’s amazon’s advertising done for them.
