Sometimes a label conveys it all: “Robot Quadrotors Perform James Bond Theme.” This video was shown today at the TED conference by Vijay Kumar of Penn. (H/t Al Seckel.)
Note that the little helicopters are pre-programmed; they’re not being remotely controlled by any human beings.

Cosmic Variance is a group blog by people who, coincidentally or not, all happen to be physicists and astrophysicists:
Our day (and night) jobs notwithstanding, the blog is about whatever we find interesting — science, to be sure, but also arts, politics, culture, technology, academia, and miscellaneous trivia. We have similar outlooks on many things, widely disparate opinions about others, and will do our best to keep the discourse reasonably elevated.

Groan…. can something be done about TED? Like making it illegal or something? Each one is more pretentious and vicariously embarrassing than the one before.

The Flight of the Valkyries would have been more appropriate
