Robotic Penguins 118

Posted by samzenpus
from the unending-march-of-the-penguins dept.
Corporate Troll writes "Robotic penguins were unveiled by German engineering firm Festo this week. Using their flippers, the mechanical penguins (video) can paddle through water just like real ones, while larger helium-filled designs can "swim" through the air. The penguins are on show at the Hannover Messe Trade Exhibition in Germany. Each penguin carries 3D sonar which is used to monitor its surroundings and avoid collisions with walls or other penguins."

This isn't even taking account for bulk ordering or vendor contract deals. Also the preinstalled 'apps' subsidize the cost of windows.

I don't know if cost is really such a big factor, especially considering the support for linux will have a hefty price tag as well. Consider training, help desk software, FAQs and documentation, and etc when thinking of the cost of linux. The only incentive manufactures have are which versions will sell more?

Due to circumstances beyond your control, you are master of your fate and captain of your soul.
