The New York Times reports that Google will honour the existing contracts which its new acquisition, Boston Dynamics, has with the Pentagon; but that “it did not plan to move toward becoming a military contractor on its own”.

Why would it, when it could become a military power instead? I for one welcome our new robot overlords.

Seriously though: inventing the wheel was easy.  Reverse engineering the leg? Now that’s technology!
