Meet AlphaDog, Boston Dynamics’ latest load carrying quadrupedal robot. This nightmarish fusion of machinery and the souls of abandoned canines can carry a payload of up to 400 lbs on 20-mile missions in rough terrain. It’s also extremely good at reorienting itself, looking as pissed as something without a face can as it does so, and the kicks that threw its predecessor, BigDog, for a loop are completely ineffective; shoving still works, thankfully. While it still looks like a monster from Silent Hill, at least this model doesn’t sound like a swarm of evil bees. Also, it kinda looks like an ATAT, which is always cool.

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011This craziness is from a movie called Endhiran, and it’s the most expensive Bollywood movie ever produced. It also happens to be India’s highest grossing movie of all time. Is it hard to see why? BTW, there’s also dancing (it’s Bollywood, what do you expect) that’s thankfully cut from this video.
