Did you just say "if it was a FireFox type update - nice and clean"
You must be very lucky. Because FireFox update has been annoying me like anything, first it won't be able to update using the partial update and ask me to download the full update.
Ok fine I do that but that won't update it either. So to update it I have to do some jugglery, first I have to rename the firefox.exe file as it can't be deleted for some weird reason (even when I don't see any firefox.exe in the task manager tasks), and then run the renamed file to complete the update process.
So much for the hassle free update huh!!!
It wasn't very clear from the article how this thing manages to fly and what is its endurance. From the images included it looks like a ducted rotor/fan based design. UAVs like these certainly provide better situational awareness for police/law enforcement operations by providing "over the hill" reconnaissance.
DARPA has been pumping in lot of money to Universities and research agencies for development of MAVs (Micro Air Vehicles), vehicles of much smaller dimension than the drone mentioned in this article, with endurance of at least 30 minutes. Some of these proposed MAVs are trying to mimic bird or insect flight mechanisms to attain comparable efficiency in flying slowly or hovering at one position, which is the primary requirement for the possible missions to be undertaken by these machines. Certainly in future we are going to see many such UAVs/MAVs manning the city/battlefield air-space for one reason or the other.
