OPS_admin | Dec 08, 2009 | Comments 0
Touch Bionics is offering hope to the disabled with an extraordinary new product called ProDigits. It’s the world’s first powered bionic fingers and the range of motion and complexity of grip that it offers people with missing fingers is sure to change lives. The product is expensive, from $57,000 to $73,000, but surely worth it when you consider it offers someone back his hand.
Wired has more details:
To power ProDigits, either myoelectric sensors that register muscle signals from the residual finger or palm, or a pressure sensitive switch input in the form of a touch pad can be used. It also has a feature that allows the device to detect when it has closed around an object.

The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.-Thom(Do you think will try it? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
