Google diversifying into Robotics

The tech giant, Google, just concluded a purchase of a company, Boston Dynamics, which develops running robot and other animalistic mobile research machines. The purchase is an indication that the tech giant is interested in robotics.

The company, Boston Dynamics, was founded in 1992 by a professor from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. One of the robots that the company produced is named BigDog. This could move over rough terrain such as snow and ice.

Another robot is named WildCat. The robot is able to gallop down a car park at high speed and pivoting quickly on the spot.

Fast and Furious Actor, Paul Walker Dead.

It saddens my heart to inform you that, Paul Walker, a co-star in one of my favourite movies, Fast and Furious passed on after a ghastly auto crash. The deceased who was named Brian O'Conner in the movie, Fast and Furious, was a passenger in his friend's car, Roger Rodas, a Pirelli World Challenge driver and co-founder for Walker's Always Evolving team. Both of them were confirmed dead after Walker's friend, Roger Rodas, lost control of the Porsche they were both inside.

According to report, Walker was in Santa Clarita to attend a car meet hosted by Always Evolving Performance, an event that was also a charity toy drive. Since inception in 2001, the Fast & Furious movie directors have released six movies with the seventh movie to be released in 2014.

Rest In Peace Paul Walker.
