Sanyo's Massage Chair Knows Where It Hurts

Sanyo showed off this "zero gravity" massage chair at CES, and it isn't your pappy's Brookstone massage chair. It's got "intelligent Stiffness Detection Sensor technology," figuring out where your body needs some TLC by checking changes in your pulse rate and where you're sweating the most.
