    The University of California at Santa Barbara has a sort of 3D-projection version of this, called the AlloSphere. Its director, JoAnn Kuchera-Morin, gave a TED talk about it earlier this year. She's a cool lady (I used to work down the hall from her), and she's put together a truly fantastic marvel of technology.

    It was a blast to quite literally explore a human brain, as well as a zinc oxide crystal. Check it out:

    Ages ago I used to play a fairly realistic surgery game on the PC, loved it even though I had lost the manual and learned by trial and error (can't do that in medical school). Would love to get a current gen game like that to play around with. #thiscyborglife

    Inflation and the ever rising cost of healthcare.

    Too bad I didn't see this article back in May 2008. I would have short-sold the crap out of the 6 million dollar man. #thiscyborglife

    We can rebuild him for a lot less if we get that Chinese guy to build him out of spare parts laying around his house.

    So, $6M/.23 = just shy of $26.1M today.

    Wolfram Alpha says that a dollar in 2008 would be worth $1.02 today, so the value of a dollar really hasn't shifted all that much since the CNN report. #thiscyborglife

    In reply to Commandos To Use Plasma Knives For Field Surgery
    I swear, Rosa, you're really starting to piss me off with your writing.

    Why the hell would I want a lightsaber? That's what I hate about you right-wing religious nutjobs.

    I hate to break it to you but the simple truth of the matter is that ancient weapons and hokey religions are no match for a blaster at your side.

    Not only that, but, given a fleet of Imperial Star Destroyers, each carrying a full complement of TIE craft, together with a DEATH STAR (an armored battle station with enough firepower to destroy an entire planet), whiny farmboys, their effete droids, and pederast minders are no match for the might of the GALACTIC EMPIRE.

    You don't frighten me with your blogger ways. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion hasn't conjured up any Google's roadmap for 2010 through 2012 or revealed the specs of the Apple Tablet.
