http://laughingsquid.com/man-has-smartp ... hetic-arm/  Trevor Prideaux, a British man born without a left arm, has always struggled with using a smartphone one-handed. So he had the Exeter Mobility Centre build a smartphone dock into his prosthetic arm. As The Telegraph reports, Prideaux is now able to call and text while the phone sits in his left arm. There is something very Deus Ex and cyberpunk abut this. I think this marks the start of a new era of man merging with computers. |

This is neat, and all, but it's about as much "man merging with computers" as wearing a digital wrist watch. Now, this is some serious cyberpunk voodoo magic: |

Stathol, just checking -- are you at all familiar with Lepht Anonym? If you want to talk about wild Deus Ex ****, it seems appropriate to juxtapose Lepht with your lab-born cybernetic hands... |
