i wanted to make cyberdyne a real company!!

but technically, the terminator cyberdyne is spelled cyber-dyne systems and a computer company
although they eventually started making cyborgs such as the t-100 and t-1000 and the t-1 (not internet) in the movie you se a lame tank like robot called the t-1 lets just hope these people stick to helping disabled people and not making terminators a virus which the world thinks is a program to blow up the world called skynet

btw the mall scene was filmed at my mall in northridge where i live and the "wash" the open sewer thing where the truck falls into On Plummer street runs behind my house
i just feel a lil special about that cuz i live in the san fernando valley where all that shit goes down

Oo and today they were filming 24 in the wash down the street from me on devinshire and conoga
( i saw keith sutherlands chair lol) seriously

plz dont blow up the world]]>Aug 9th 2006 12:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/hal-robot-suit-almost-summits-with-quadriplegic-man-in-tow/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/hal-robot-suit-almost-summits-with-quadriplegic-man-in-tow/
Wxrman, if you bothered to actually follow the link, the caption on that very picture sez...

"Japanese mountain climber Takeshi Matsumoto carries on unidentified climber to demonstrate how the hybrid assistive limb (HAL) robot works Sunday."

I've seen the HAL up close in Akihabara and it's pretty cool. They do a demo with a guy from Tsukuba University who holds three big bags of rice out in front of his chest, no sweat.

I want Honda to equip Asimo with a HAL suit....;p]]>Aug 10th 2006 5:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/hal-robot-suit-almost-summits-with-quadriplegic-man-in-tow/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/hal-robot-suit-almost-summits-with-quadriplegic-man-in-tow/Aug 5th 2009 5:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/hal-robot-suit-almost-summits-with-quadriplegic-man-in-tow/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/hal-robot-suit-almost-summits-with-quadriplegic-man-in-tow/http://www.laptopbatteryclub.com/]]>Dec 2nd 2009 9:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/hal-robot-suit-almost-summits-with-quadriplegic-man-in-tow/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/08/hal-robot-suit-almost-summits-with-quadriplegic-man-in-tow/http://www.super-e-world.com/
