Amazing, terrifying Boston Dynamics robot video gets a million views on YouTube

In the last three days this Boston Dynamics video has been viewed over a million times on YouTube, and I have yet to see anything about it in the local media, except for Mass High Tech. Also, Slashdot has an item here. No surprise that Big Dog is a DARPA project for the Waltham company. But holy crap! I kind of wish it was a hoax, but apparently it's not. It's quite a creature, most resembling a giant fly in a 1950s horror movie, complete with eerie buzzing sound, only sans wings. Maybe this is part of SkyNet.
