Something to ooh-and-ahh over while browsing Amazon’s Cyber Monday deals:

We’re excited to share Prime Air – something the team has been working on in our next generation R&D lab. The goal of this new delivery system is to get packages into customers’ hands in 30 minutes or less using unmanned aerial vehicles. Putting Prime Air into commercial use will take some number of years as we advance technology and wait for the necessary FAA rules and regulations. This is footage from a recent test flight.

Yes, my friends – in a nutshell, Skynet is now available for preorder! Put that in your shopping cart to “Save for later.”
