    The art school animations around the arms are too distracting. I think someone needs to be caned for the music, too.

    "At the moment it has an aluminum-alloy frame weighing around 500lbs, so hopefully they can shrink it down a bit"

    The only problem with that is you still need a counter-balance. If they make it lighter it will reduce the amount of weight which can be picked up.

    @jepzilla: Nowhere did the post mention 12 hours of exertion, but to answer your question - no. Unfortunately, my fast glycolytic myofibrils would not tolerate contraction for a duration of that period.

    @Zomb: We Kryptonians have our limits just as well as you humans do. An ant may look upwards and envision you humans as limitless in power in a manner akin to how you view me. But in truth, we both are bounded by (largely) arbitrary limits.

    Well, this is a prediction of mine I've been maintaing for years now:

    What costs more: adapting all the buildings in all the cities and all the street crosses for people with disabilities or develop a technology such this to allow them get ANYwhere??

    I think more and more on the latter... and as time passes it's even more clear!

    They will never sell that here in the US. Imagine lifting 10x weight of anything and it borks. The ambulance chaser law firms are already taping commercials to ding these guys.

    "Has your super exoskeleton suit ever failed while you were lifting 1,000 pounds? Call Dewey, Cheatem Andhow today for a FREE consultation. We can't replace 200 broken bones but we can get you cash. Call now, operators are waiting."

    I love/hate this country very much.
