Funny how Festo's SmartBird has been posted to HN multiple times over the past few months, but never voted up: http://www.google.com/search?q=site:news.ycombinator.com+sma...

Proof that having a good HN headline matters!

I believe its because there was a TED talk about the Smart Bird posted a few days ago [1]. So now all the US media talks about it.
