Comment This book caused me to get a Nook! (Score 1) 114

So i was picking out some books to read (pleasure and reference) and this one caught my eye....tech books are so expensive that the stack I had picked out cost more than a Nook. Made a deal with the Nook dude to sell me one with a gift card and got the Nook and most of the books i picked out digitally for almost same price. Random comment i know but this is the book that caused it, I havent finished it yet but i give a +1 to this review, very well written so far.

Submission + - Mind-Controlled Artificial Arm Begins Human Tests (singularityhub.com)

kkleiner writes: The world’s first human testing of a mind-controlled artificial limb is ready to begin. A joint project between the Pentagon and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), the Modular Prosthetic Limb will be fully controlled by sensors implanted in the brain, and will even restore the sense of touch by sending electrical impulses from the limb back to the sensory cortex. Last week APL announced it was awarded a $34.5 million contract with DARPA, which will allow researchers to test the neural prosthetic in five individuals over the next two years.
