Channel-surfing the vast cultural wasteland: Cecil B. DeMille’s massive 1950s movie spectacle, “The 10 Commandments,” returns to broadcast television tonight on ABC.

Amazon for the apocalypse: An autonomous drone made what’s billed as the first successful residential delivery March 10 — dropping off bottled water, food and a first-aid kit at a vacant home in an uninhabited neighborhood outside of Reno, Nevada.

The drone then took off before zombies could tear it to pieces in a vain search for human flesh.
