Amazon unviels 30-minute Prime Air quadcopley delivery service

Amazon, the company that already automates many of its warehouses and fulfillment centers with robot workers, has unveiled Amazon Prime Air — a new delivery method that will see autonomous quadcopters deliver your order within 30 minutes. A couple of years from now, perhaps on Cyber Monday in 2015, you might be able to order a PS4 game or the latest smartphone and have it delivered to your door in half an hour.

At this point, you should probably watch the video below — and then read on for some discussion of the technological, regulatory, and practical issues that Amazon will face.

Sweaty Betty's Yoga Pants are Even More Expensive

There's a new high-end fitness fashion brand in town, and it's even more expensive than Lululemon Athletica.

Sweaty Betty, which was founded in London in 1998, has opened two U.S. stores in the last four months — one in Soho and one in Greenwich, Conn. — and it's planning to launch a third in 2014.

The brand offers fashion-forward fitness apparel for a slightly higher price than Lululemon, which has a stronghold over the high-end activewear market in the U.S.

Sweaty Betty's basic yoga pants cost $120, which is $22 more expensive than Lululemon's. The retailer's cheapest pair of sweatpants cost $110 — compared to $98 at Lululemon — and jackets cost between $80 and $600.

If you think Maria Bello is a lesbian , you weren't paying attention

The New York Times‘ weekly “Modern Love” essay feature is no stranger to generating buzz—regular readers will remember the infamous “Shamu lady” —but this Sunday’s may have topped them all. In a piece titled “Coming Out as a Modern Family,” actress Maria Bello (Prisoners, Grown Ups, The Cooler) described her decision to tell her 12-year-old son that she had become involved romantically with her best friend, a woman identified in the piece as Clare and ID’d by The Hollywood Reporter and other outlets as media executive Clare Munn.

But that buzz has, in many cases, missed the point. In reporting on the piece, many headlines have declared that Bello “came out as gay“—but, despite the phrasing in Bello’s own headline, that’s sort of the opposite of what she wrote about.

Maria Callas Google Doodle celebrates 90th birthday

Google has marked the 90th anniversary of the birth of the iconic Greek soprano Maria Callas with a celebratory doodle.

Callas was born on 2 December 1923, in New York and made her debut in Boccaccio for the Royal Opera of Athens, and took her first major role in Tosca. Her Italian opera debut took place at the Verona Arena in 1947 and her American one in 1954. Callas died in Paris in 1977.

Callas's dramatic off-stage life often overshadowed her success on it. She developed a rivalry with the more classically-styled soprano Renata Tebaldi, acquired the reputation as a prima donna, and had an affair with shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis after divorcing her husband Giovanni Meneghini - only for Onassis to leave her for Jackie Kennedy.
