so Web 2.0 is really - same info - different packaging.

A bit like branding for 'content'.

If the writer can count the hits - they get more 'dosh'?

Do you still need your weekend writer - sheesh.

Why not have a car with robo-legs. Transformers!
Goliaths from StarCraft also come to mind, all it needs is a cockpit, machine guns, and missile launchers.

How the hell will the elderly climb into the contraption if they need the legs in the first place?
Better to fit the legs to their beds.

]]> <![CDATA[Power Pedal Robot Legs]]> Crash900,
Well, consider what might happen if someone decided to use these to abuse some young whipper-snappers, and those kids retaliated by hacking the control system in grampa's cyborg shit-kickers. Suddenly, "grumpy old person" would be heading off on the ride of his life.

Somehow, I think there may be sweet justice just waiting in the wings for anyone who misused a pair of these.

]]> <![CDATA[Power Pedal Robot Legs]]> Very interesting. It looks like a step on the way to creating exoskeletal "loaders" a la the movie Alien 2 (also good, of course, for fighting said aliens hand-to-hand).

]]> <![CDATA[Power Pedal Robot Legs]]> I need another exoskeleton like I need another hole in my head. I'm going in for that Tebetan third eye thing on Friday. :P

]]> <![CDATA[Power Pedal Robot Legs]]> could they make it bigger? with more cables and wires to hold? (i guess this puts a lot of helpful boy scouts out of work, helping grannies cross the street)

]]> <![CDATA[Power Pedal Robot Legs]]> I can't think of a group of people I would rather not have super human cyborg strength more than grumpy old people.
