Maybe development of new species is not something that happens within a generation.
You could have some off-springs that mutate somewhat, who then pro-create with others also carrying a mutation, eventually creating a mutation that's incompatible with another branch spawned from their common ancestors. Most of the branches die off and/or recombine and only couple truly distinctive ones survive.
Those surviving branches become incompatible for breeding purposes and there's your new species.
I spent 7 years competing with R/C airplanes and fly R/C helicopters as a hobby. I also spent some time developing a basic autopilot software.
This kind of airplane weighs between 4-7 oz. People usually go to extreme measures to save 5 grams in order to make the planes fly better. It's very unlikely there's enough carrying capacity to drag around 6DOF gyros/accelerometers and data transmitter on that platform (and it's not visible anywhere on the airframe). If it was tethered by a cable (eliminating the need for onboard motor battery and positioning data transmitter), it would be more believable.
The flying looks EXACTLY like a human flying including the throttle blips etc. Computers are much smoother with the throttle control and inputs. The predictor/corrector control loop just doesn't behave this way.
The heli also flies with human like reactions behind it, not software. I've see good pilots land small helis on VERTICAL surfaces (landing on ceiling is much simpler though).
I think Georgia University had a 40% Carden Edge 540 hovering autonomously couple years ago. The plane weighted around 40 lbs though, so it's much easier to load up with electronics.
And that's why NASA should invent some anti-aging technology for humans. Once all the people in the know retire/die, the Voyagers are doomed with the latest crop of engineers. Maybe they can have the Cassinni recovery "team" take over?
I really like the idea of shredding a highly reactive Lithium Polymer battery in a container secured by your own hand.
I can't wait for the "Will shotgun cartridges blend ?" video !

The only reason for this is to deny a remedy to the customer who got owned. Shifting blame doesn't help anyone in the long run.
Why not provide customer with an anti virus/malware/spyware of bank's choosing before letting customers make transactions ?
This way, you pre-screen the computer the customer plans to use to initiate transactions, instead of HOPING it's secure and then DENYING any claim resulting from the machine being hacked.
If somebody installs a card reader at the entry to an ATM plus a camera near the PIN keypad, can the bank blame YOU for falling a victim to it ? It was YOU that swiped it through the wrong reader, therefor they could deny responsibility as well...

Does anybody else get the impression that they created an Ethernet loop and couldn't figure it out for a whole day ?

Wait until Intel figures out they can embed ad delivery system right into a CPU.
