Well, that link keeps taking me to a "pay" bit. I'm not signing up just to see one story.

This buyout (Boston Dynamics) is only the latest in a string of robotics companies that Google has acquired.

I just watched a segment on Ch4 news about it, and they said Google has bought 7 companies in this field over the last 7 months

With the first one or two I figured it was just billionaires buying cool toys - after all, whats cooler than robots? But now its a concerted effort - there must be an endgame.

Lasers won't work, and take too much power. Build a large Tesla coil in each corner of the yard, triggered by a cheap motion sensor from the hardware store.

Well I guess that's evolution:
freakin' shark with laser beams attached to their head
--> killer dolphins
--> RobotDog
--> OCP / Cyberdyne....
sounds logical and goddamn freaky, but we are all living in the matrix or a dragon's dream anyway...
we missed the "Steve Austin" step though...

Even more so since it's been weaponized ^.

Microwave bursts from your house will protect you from the critters. All you need is an old kitchen microwave and a metal cone. At the same time, they will also protect your garden from the chucks and other natural vermin as well. I wonder what micro waves will do to zombies?

Maybe other already say it.
I think... with a little help of DARPA... Yes!

My high-speed internet connection will be monitored by provided by google. My car will record my every sneeze self drive with google. My internet searching will be profiled by free from google. My coding language will be HTML 5 and JS Dart. My TV will be all youtube advertisements channels. And my phone will NSA record run google w/ a Chinese-altered OS and handset.
And of course the PC will be dead.
And the best part...I will get Viagra ads spammed across every device! Happy day!
I can't wait, bring on the T-2000!

They have all of us data.
Google's having that much of user data from which it can create four different profile for a single person.

I like Windows, but I also like *nix systems. I know of three Unix-style systems for Windows:
* Msys
* Msys2 - My Favorite
* Cygwin
Msys2 is my favorite as is has the latest versions of most packages, and works with Win32 paths by default. It is also more complete than Msys, including things like OpenSSH, GPG, Python (2.7 and 3.3), and Ruby (2.0.0-p353). It also has a number of packages and a port of the pacman package manager.
Msys2[^]

That link doesn't lead to much information. Do you have a better link?

Isn't that a bit like racing tires for a Volkswagen?

That would be entirely appropriate on for example a Golf VR6 which would make an excellent track day car.
