Google's Drone by GoogleX

Google recently released info about a drone program, thought of and run by GoogleX, Googles group responsible for innovations such as the self driving car and Google glasses. Google originally meant for the drone to deliver AEDs to heart attack victims, but Google is also looking at other practical applications for their drone. Because of regulations currently imposed by the FAA, Google moved all the work for drones to Australia. The article is here.

I personally am very excited for the future where projects like this are allowed by the FAA. My question for these projects is, is it profitable to have so many of these to actually cover a large portion of the United States. It seems impractical to have one of these drones every 1 or so kilometers. There is also the issue of getting the product to the drone so it can deliver. Wont it take as long to get a product to a drone near you as it will to just ship it straight to you?

Google.com:
Old Site:

New Site:

This website has changed greatly from the past Google websites. For the most part, the general design is the same old and new. One of the main differences is that the newer site is a lot simpler than the old site. Also, instead of having links just on the page, the new site has a drop down box to show you all the Google services.

Old Code:

 New Code:

As you can see, there are major differences to the code of the old and the new website. In the old website, I can clearly pick out parts of code that i recognize, but in the new code, I am unable to find much code I recognize at all. In the new website, there are a lot of scripts and in the old, there are not.

Edmodo.com:
Old Site:

New Site:

The Edmodo website has changed greatly over the years. The older website is not much more than a login and maybe a picture. The new website has a awesome design that uses pictures excellently and mimics the design of Facebook, which allows us kids to automatically know how to use most of the website.

Old Code:

New Code:

The main part of the code for Edmodo looks the same, there are easy to recognize html tags. The new code looks much cleaner and more organized at the start, but later on it sort of goes back to the way Google does it, which is complicated and difficult to understand.

Twitter:

Old Site:

New Site:

The Twitter website has evolved a lot over the years. A huge design change was the addition of a picture in the background that constantly changes. The login is a lot cleaner and there isn't anything in the middle of the page distracting you from logging in.

Old Code:

New Code:

One main difference is the organization of the code. The newer code is a lot cleaner and neater than the old code. It's interesting to be able to look at the old code and see the login boxes laid out in code. The newer code probably has the login boxes and script sort of hidden.

The purpose of the WayBack machine is to archive almost every website on the internet to create a database of old websites. The machine not only gets websites, but also the images on those websites and any software. I find it interesting that the internet archive has been a part of several legal case related to past websites.
