Now this is cool. It's nice to see technology put to constructive use.

That's awesome!

Wow. That's terrific.

I was also pleasantly surprised by the price Bunny, because it implies two things:

1. Touch Bionics is being smart about the manufacture of the i-Limb, thus they don’t have to charge a huge sum
2. They’re not taking advantage of the opportunity to gouge desperate people

While yes, one can argue that the product is in its early stages, and might develop problems down the road, it definitely seems worth the money.

Now they just need to solve the phantom limb disorder; that alone would be worth 15k to amputees.

[Servius Heiner]

disorder or syndrom? hmm brain fart.

Once again, scifi becomes reality. That is so cool!

That's almost as cool as the Elmo doll I got for Christmas!

.... and then Cylons took over the planet....

[Rusty]

But at least they knew exactly how much pressure to apply in order to crush your windpipe, without making a mess of it.

yes, our doom, at least, will be precise. : )
