This bionic hand is very impressive. Scary as hell, but impressive none the less.

I can be a dick like that sometimes.
I keep getting dissapointed when it requires outside force to adjust the thumb.
As prosthetic parts get better, will payouts for work-related injuries fall due to less impact on daily life?
Really? I hadn't noticed. /sarc
What I'd like to see is artificial limbs that are wired directly to nerves so they act and function the same as a real limb. All these really do is translate muscle twitches into preset commands to replicate most everyday human gestures.
That mouse looks pretty cool, too.
Looks like this one, modded with carbon-fiber:

Can't buy in the US...
6 years from now Logitech will have one out with a USB plugin.
3 months later, there will be viruses and malware for it.

Wouldn't technology that allowed that also solve nerve damage and fix parapalegics? I remember people betting that by the time we had fully functional artificial limbs, we'd be able to regrow organic ones anyway.
For me it's kinda like:
"We can clone and regrow any body part and implant them!"
"Yay!"
"Now we don't need bionic and artificial limbs at all!"
"... awwww..."

Be very afraid, they armed it by giving it a knife!
Seems cool but I'd like to see someone actually wearing it and controlling it. I know the technology already exists so I'm not doubting it, but it makes more of an impact to see the arm attached to a person rather than just an arm doing random things.
All I could think about is the scene from T2 where Arnold cuts his skin off.
