"Rather Be" - Clean Bandit (Kyler) - Video
Facebook is reportedly in talks with drone maker Titan Aerospace, with those familiar with the situation suggesting the social networking giant could be preparing to offer up to $60 million for the company.
You might be wondering why on earth Facebook would have any interest in a drone manufacturer; after all, its not in the business of delivering pizza or beer or any other goodies for that matter to its many users.
Affordable Internet accessThe fact is, Titan Aerospace can help Mark Zuckerberg with his dream of bringing affordable Internet access to everyone on the planet, with the near-orbital, solar-powered pilotless flying machines helping to provide that access. The New Mexico-based company already has experience of such work with the Internet Africa Project, which is helping to provide Internet access to previously isolated populations across the continent.
Its solar-powered drones, which are capable of staying airborne for as long as five years at a time, could be used to blanket parts of the world without Internet access, beginning with Africa, TechCrunch reported Monday night.
According to an unnamed source, Titan Aerospace would start off by building 11,000 Solara 60 drones to help with Facebooks plan.
The so-called atmospheric satellites, which would fly at a height of around 12.5 miles (20 km), are capable of carrying out many of the functions of higher-placed orbital satellites but are cheaper and more versatile, according to TechCrunch.
The Facebook boss talked about his plan to bring Internet access to all during a speech delivered at MWC in Barcelona last week.
Most of the world dont have any Internet access at all, Zuckerberg said, explaining that to bring global connectivity would require dramatic changes in the tech industry.
As a major backer of the Internet.org initiative, Facebook has already teamed up with a number of big firms Ericsson, MediaTek, Nokia, Opera, Qualcomm and Samsung among them as part of a long-term effort to reduce the cost of Internet access around the world. Its acquisition of Titan Aerospace would obviously fit with this initiative.
Revenue boostMark Little, principal analyst at tech consultancy firm Ovum, told the BBC recently that putting money into emerging markets would go toward helping to boost advertising income for the social networking company in the future.

Social networking website Meetup.com is fighting a sustained battle against cyber attackers who are demanding only $300 to call off a campaign that has kept the site offline for much of the past four days.
The site, which enables strangers to meet for activities of shared interest such as sports and other hobbies, could not be accessed early Monday afternoon.
A Meetup blog said that the company was a victim of a distributed denial of service (DDOS) campaign, a type of attack that knocks websites offline by overwhelming them with incoming traffic. It said that no personal data, including credit card information, had been accessed.

Meetup's co-founder and CEO, Scott Heiferman, said on the company's blog that it was the first such attack in the site's 12-year history. He defended themove not to pay the paltry ransom.
"We made a decision not to negotiate with criminals,'' he said. "Payment could make us (and all well-meaning organizations like us) a target for further extortion demands as word spread in the criminal world.''
Matthew Prince, CloudFlare co-founder & CEO, discusses cloud security and explains what companies can do to protect themselves and consumers from cyberattacks. Prince says there has been a 500 percent increase in the number of cybercrimes over the past year.
He said the small amount was likely a trick and that the perpetrators of the sophisticated attacks would likely demand more, a point internet security analyst Kevin Johnson agreed with.
