This week in Technology Insider

Welcome to the Tech Insider. This week, writer Brian Bremner takes us inside Boston Dynamics’ work on a prototype robot called the Cheetah, a cat-like bot that can gallop 18 mph on a treadmill. This sort of machine could someday serve as a scout robot for the military, or help in emergency rescue and civilian disasters. We also have stories on Google and Mozilla. Enjoy!
