Get me the head of Hungarian security...
If you like fast action movies and have some free time over the holidays, check out Strike Back, an original HBO/Cinemax series about the missions of British security services Mi-6. The last 3 episodes of season 2 show Budapest, while the modern age James Bonds save it from terrorists of Kosovo and Pakistan. The episodes have beautiful landscapes of Budapest, a bomb going off on a nostalgic tram-line with the Parliament in the background, people speaking Hungarian, a Hungarian secret agent called Laszlo and so much more.

CHARLI Robot Gangnam Style
The CHARLI series humanoid robot is developed as a research platform to study bipedal walking and autonomous behaviors for humanoid robots. It is designed to be ultra light weight (under 15 kgs) for safety and low cost. As the next generation of the CHARLI series humanoid robots, CHARLI-2 improves stability and speed in walking, intelligence and autonomy, and soccer playing skills. CHARLI-L2 is also designed to participate in the autonomous robot soccer competition, RoboCup, in the Adult size league. CHARLI-2 implements an impressive active stabilization strategy based on sensory feedback (filtered IMU angles, gyro rate readings and proprioception information based on joint encoders.) Stabilizing torques at the ankle joints are applied based on this information, and successful ly rejects external disturbances. CHARLI-2 is honored "2011 Best Invention of the Year" by Time magazine, won the Louis Vuitton Best Humanoid Award (a.k.a. Louis Vuitton Cup) at RoboCup 2011, and won F...
