Where can one buy this toy? Not wanting a swarm of them, just one toy to drive the cats insane with.

So cool. I gotta find how they work.

"Each “nano” device is self-sensing; each can position itself, keep its balance, and behave as a group member in carrying out maneuvers."

The thing is, they'll get tinier and tinier until they're just nano-bots that do certain things, like advertising or what have you. They will battle one another over the skies and we'll all be coming home covered in nano-soot.

Anyone read Neal Stephenson's 'Diamond Age' ?

That's it we are definitely screwed.

Between the zombie apocalypse the rise of the machines and the alien invasion
we are doomed!

Or maybe they will fight each other and we'll make it in the end?
