The Orange County Sheriff's Office is experimenting with two surveillance drones that it hopes to turn loose over Metro Orlando skies this summer.
Sheriff's spokesman Jeff Williamson would not reveal specific uses for the drones, larger versions of which are known for flying over tribal regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan to drop bombs on suspected terrorists.
But Williamson did say Orange's remote-controlled planes would not be armed. The agency still needs approval from county leaders and the Federal Aviation Administration to use them. The FAA said it does not comment on drone applications.
And, some sad news for those that loves pictures of cats, weird looking photoshopped people, and creeper shots of under-age girls. Reddit co-owner commits suicide. (This could turn into a big story).
Former Reddit co-owner and founder of DemandProgress, Aaron Swartz committed suicide at the age of 26 in New York City yesterday, according to reports by The Tech. Swartz had been battling criminal charges related to his attempts to make JSTOR archives public and had been facing up to 50 years in prison and $4 million dollars in fines at the time of his death.
In addition to becoming an early co-owner of Reddit when his company Infogami was bought by the mammoth-to-be, Swartz also co-authored the RSS 1.0 specifications at the age of 14, and founded Demand Progress, a key player in last year's battle against SOPA.
