Today's Story Highlights

DARPA's Concept Car Makes the Batmobile Look So Passé
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency last week posted a video
of an advanced concept ground vehicle under development in its Ground X-
Vehicle Technologies program. It's not clear whether the vehicle in
question is a light armored car or a tank, but DARPA wants to give it
improved survivability through the use of advanced technologies. The
vehicle will rely more on speed than on armor.

When Computers Get a Right Brain
IBM is massively increasing its commitment to Watson, which was evident
at last week's IBM Think Forum. IBM recognizes that if it can get a
product that thinks first, then it can again take absolute control over
the technology market, and every other company will be chasing it again.
It is making some impressive headway, and the firm that succeeds at this
will change the world.

And Now for Something Completely Different
Well it's a good thing we here in the Linux community had a refreshing
and refocusing break recently, because last week it was back onto the
hot coals once again. The Systemd inferno -- which Linux Girl is
starting to think of as "The Blaze That Must Not Be Named" -- has spread
even further, your trusty reporter is dismayed to report, extending now
to encompass the entire FOSS community.
