It is a completely different kind of aircraft, forward flight is quite a bit more efficient then how a quadcopter flies. but it is not hard to design something that can carry more then it's own weight, until you decide to account for the batteries to make it go any distance. Batteries are heavy.
Except these would have much closer interaction with people then any of the above. To the tune of inches (how else do you get your package from the drone). No Govt agency is going to allow you to put your commercial drone within inches of a person.
Higher, Boeing and Airbus cannot fly below a certain altitude in your neighborhood. These will be at just the right height to really hurt someone.
You really think the FAA would make a safety allowance for commercial use of drones in densely populated areas? Right, cause that's not a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Great, if the goal is to steal them. But think about it, How many times do you here people say if they see a drone they would shoot it down? It's not the thieves you have to worry about, it's the vandals, who you won't catch with your system.
Scott Ritter was the wrong man for the job. Granted the charges were brought up at a suspicious time but Ritter himself has admitted to a lot of the on line activity. He had way too much baggage to be a public figure.
How do you report someone to the credit bureaus without a ssn? Did they open a line of credit with this website? Otherwise how did they get this lady's ssn?

and the retailers internet connection is probably dsl so that fancy 802.11n is still going to be slower then your LTE.
And then retailers get smacked down by the FCC as cellular jammers are illegal.

if it's line of site then what is the purpose, it could only deliver to a handful of people.
400 feet, That is their legal ceiling. unless, of course, the FAA decides that commerce is more important then safety.

Air ships.
30lb gimbal and camera? what kind of camera does he have?
Yes with the 15 minute flight time that quad/octocopter's have with out a payload makes this a "winner" idea.
Unless there are MAJOR advancements in battery tech this is a fantasy.

So just because someone says the world is over populated that makes them a eugenicist?
Porn is just prostitution on film.
I am pretty sure Tesla showed us how easy it is to transmit electricity wirelessly. Horribly inefficient but not difficult.
And you call yourself a nerd?
It is/was/will be simulcast in several countries. It is not just a UK release.
The NSA is most certainly a military organization. You should really read the Puzzle Palace and learn how the NSA was started.
Yes which is exactly what the GP stated when he said " Try buying a large screen TV in Venezuela this coming January. "\
Oh wait a Large Screen TV is not a staple.
If you are going to rag on someone for bad analogies, maybe you should follow the thread first.
So you don't even read the summary I see.
" It is early days. The four major taste components, plus the fifth, the savoury 'umami' tang,"
Other then the inverse square law no.

Honestly these days I would say the majority here have no idea what either of them are.
