#google drone

Back in December, Amazon made quite a news after revealing they are exploring using unmanned aerial vehicles or drones (the Amazon Prime Air) to deliver light packages to customers. Turns out Google has been working on a similar project for 2 years. Called the Project Wing, the project has been around since 2012 over at their research lab in Google X. The idea is basically the same -- use un-manned aerial drones to deliver small packages which will be faster, cheaper and can handle same-day delivery. There was some sort of mass panic last night when Google was spewing a warning "this site may harm your computer" on all their search results. People search on Google were shocked and confused as if the search engine itself was hacked. Connie took a screenshot from her browser of what turned out to be human error from some engineers over at Google: The incident happened sometime between 6:30 a.m. Google flags search results with the message "This site may harm your computer" if the site is known to install malicious software in the background or otherwise surreptitiously.
