Something looks really fake about that video. When the hand moves the device the screen doesn't move correctly with it.

I think I like reading about Steorn for the same reason I like reading what crazy people have written about the end of the world in 2012. It just amuses me to see people make way outlandish claims I guess.

I think (and granted I have hands) that it is still important for researchers to focus on these types of advancements for the very reason that they will not become truly viable otherwise.

I totally get that motorized hooks are better for now but hook science probably doesn't have many directions to advance in and these hands, if cheaper and more functional, would be far superior. Wouldn't they?

I wonder how many more years it will be before we start to see intentional amputations from people in favor of robot parts.

Yeah but, according to this article, if you're a woman than pink electronics are really the only thing that would appeal to you.

But that makes sense doesn't it? I mean all women love the color pink, it's genetic. Just like how I love monster trucks and football, right guys?? But we should really be getting our sisters/girlfriends/moms pink mops and telling them to get back in the kitchen.
