Gah, its Captain Cyborg (Dr K Warick)....for those of you who are not aware of this....interesting gentleman....need to read The Register....bascilly the bloke is a total fruit cake. He inserted a RFID tag under the skin of his arm and then proclaimed he was part man part machine....a cyborg if you will.
Prof. Kevin Warwick isn't a fruit cake. A bit of a media whore, yes. I study at Reading University, I have lectures from him. He's far from a fruitcake. Incredibly clever man.
a) Joel, for being pwned by the subject of the article. That's gotta hurt.
b) Marty, for lurking on engadget, and pwning people who get his name wrong. Marty, what? Are you afraid of being confused with the other mad scientist named Warwick making fetal ratbots? Seriously, most of these commenters work at Blockbuster and live in their parents' basements. Don't you have anything better to do with your time? Perhaps applying for grants from the National Mad Science Foundation?
I guess my post came off more harsh than intended, I wasn't annoyed or anything that he got MY name wrong, it happens all the time. I didn't take it personally (putting my full name after just seemed like a bit of fun haha). It's easy to see how people saying negative things about someone they barely know would seem annoying, but as you said about the status of most commenters, maybe I should keep schtum... my mistake.
On a seperate note, I would LOVE it if there was a National Mad Science Foundation. :)
Kevin a fruitcake? Far from it. I also study at Reading, and he is by far one of the most helpful and and most intelligent lecturers there. He is a bit of a media whore, but in a subject so starved of funds that is really just a commendable point!
He is far more interesting than the stereotypical grumpy professor. Oh and the RFID tag was one of the first experiments, I suggest you actually do some reading on the brain gate nerve interface, which is what made him the "cyborg". The RFID tag was just an implant, the braingate is a bidirectional 100 pin nerve interface chip.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.

I strongly suggest you learn to spell someone's name before you slag them off like that.
- Marty Warwick.

I'm having trouble deciding who is more lame:
a) Joel, for being pwned by the subject of the article. That's gotta hurt.
b) Marty, for lurking on engadget, and pwning people who get his name wrong. Marty, what? Are you afraid of being confused with the other mad scientist named Warwick making fetal ratbots?

Hey "m". You are probably more lame. Marty Warwick is not the subject of the article. The person in question is Kevin Warwick.
