Chronicalling a pilotless drone

The San Francisco Chronicle has started a podcast channel for listener complaints. What a great idea.

The Saipan Public Radio station broadcast NPR'S Morning Edition with a story about it.

Interesting enough, but the first caller went on and on about "pilotless drones", and the guy's raving has been set to music on YouTube. It's pretty good.

Also in the story, though it didn't appear in the website transcript, was some discussion of a "pilotless drone". Even though a pilotless aircraft would be more newsworthy (unless it was a drone), they claimed 100,000 hits on a Google search. Now I don't always take NPR's word for everything, so I had to check myself. Aha, only "about 93,900", and those numbers are padded because this thing's spreading over the blogosphere.
