"Inside a cavernous room on the first floor there, security analysts for Symantec sit in long, curved rows 24 hours a day, working on computers and facing a wall of theater-size screens."
I guess regular firewalls can't protect the millions of bugs in Windows from being exploded anymore. Hmmm, pay "Mid-size companies typically pay Symantec $1,000 to $2,000 a month" or switch to a more secure free OS?

I'm kind of curious as to how these are remotely controlled. I'm wondering if a constant connection has to be maintained with these things, and what happens if that connection is broken. Seems it would possible to jam the signal, leaving these drons to make decisions on their own. What would they do, fly in circles till they run out of gas and crash? Or worse yet, fly in a straight line and crash into a structure, or cross into foreign airspace!
Reminds me of when a remote control car would go outside of my range, and would just keep on going in a straight line. I would end up chasing after the damn thing trying to get it to stop from hitting a wall/curb.
