    There will be new laws soon to regulate unmanned aircraft.

     I didn't know trhat these are being used for crop spraying a lot already.

It makes sense. Cropdusting is dangerous. Insurance is very expensive for pilots who fly so close to the ground, and the insecticides are dangerous as well. The fog from the spray hides electrical wires and cables.

Yesterday I saw an "airhog" flying camera for sale at $35.

Paraprezzi can be more fly like than ever.

Eventually, paparazzi will get cameras the size of gnats. They will be able to sell you a tour of Angela Jolies' inner ear, Adrian Brody's left nostril.

It's an unmanned drone helicopter shooting a taco from space down at you and your colleagues during lunchtime!

The Internet is going wild for Tacocopter, perhaps the next great startup out of Silicon Valley, which boasts a business plan that combines four of the most prominent touchstones of modern America: tacos, helicopters, robots and laziness.

Indeed, the concept behind Tacocopter is very simple, and very American: You order tacos on your smartphone and also beam in your GPS location information. Your order -- and your location -- are transmitted to an unmanned drone helicopter (grounded, near the kitchen where the tacos are made), and the tacocopter is then sent out with your food to find you and deliver your tacos to wherever you're standing.

You pay online, so the tacos are simply dropped off at your feet by the drone helicopter, which then flies back to the restaurant to pick up its next order.

How do you tip a delivery robot?

The way that the nonexistent tacocopter would work would be that you charge your purchase to a debit or credit card or PayPal or whatever, and tacocopter delivers the tacos. It does not take money or tips.

I find it annoying when there is a tip jar on the counter for someone who is just taking orders. In a restaurant, people do not tip the cook or the kitchen staff. They are paid by the price of the food. One should not be expected to pay extra for normal service that does not consist of more than ringing up a purchase and handing you a bag. Please.

And no, I NEVER put money in a tip jar, unless I find a penny on the floor.
