Robotic Faces are Coming

Here’s an interesting post from Slashdot today:

"New Scientist reports on a patent application that suggests implanting polymer muscles beneath the skin of people suffering paralysis of the face to give them control of their features. The technique has already been used successfully to reanimate the eyelids of human cadavers. Movement could be returned to other facial features and even paralyzed limbs in the same way, the surgeons at University of California Davis say. The full patent application is also available on the WIPO site."

<<after my hazMat accident where a bucket of Chlorine shock granules exploded in my face, I could use this.  Wouldn't help with sensation though...

We hope that
Web Of Trust continues its current
policies, responsiveness, and commitment to excellence. We were one of the first newsletters to recommend Web Of Trust
and to stop recommending Site Advisor. Hey! Maybe we do sort of know
what we're doing despite our generally humorous and light-hearted approach to
computing?

If you still choose to
continue to use Site Advisor, we urge you to use its site ratings
cautiously. We think you'd be better off uninstalling Site Advisor and
installing Web Of Trust (WOT). We feel
their ratings are more accurate and they are far more responsive to
changes in sites and to site owners and to WOT users.
