    Of course, once those security measures are compromised we will see an uptick in physical bank robberies again.

    Windows 10 is 10/10? Well, 10 divided by 10 equals one. But they did make the Xbox One. On the other hand, it means Xbox 1 is their third game console.

    I really can't wait to see what stupid name they'll be using for their fourth console:
    - Xbox
    - Xbox 360
    - Xbox One
    - Xbox Delta?

    AFAIK there's only one type of body in Minecraft: blocky.

    You're right about default settings though. Players should get a menu when creating a new character. The first choice would be male or female, followed by skin colour, then hair colour, hair style, zero to two arms, zero to two legs, religion, dietary choice, sex orientation and finally pro-tentacles or not.

    Drones are not faster than cars so it is not a speed issue.

    Drones won't be slowed down by streets, traffic lights and traffic itself. It's going to be pretty much a straight line from start to finish.

    The drones require pilots so it is not a labor issue.

    We have multiple car companies announcing self-driving cars along regular human drivers within 5 to 10 years and you think Amazon's going to need people piloting drones that fly in the air?

    Drones are expensive compared to a scooter or a used car so it is not a cost issue.

    It depends on the components required to build the drone. Also, I don't see UPS using scooters or used cars to make deliveries.

    Drones can't fly in bad weather so it is not a reliability issue...

    Cars can't really drive in bad weather either, they both have their limits. Cars when there's too much wind (up to a point)? Not a problem. Drones when the roads are icy? Not a problem.

    If car companies can come up with the idea of automated battery swapping, you can be sure the people at Amazon also thought about it.
