BBC News - Scientists hail robotic hand 'breakthrough'

For one month, Italian scientists demonstrated that a person could control a robotic hand using only neural signals from the nerves in his arm, and was able to perform complex tasks. He was also able to detect sensations in his hand because the link was designed to be two-way. Visit the link to see a video of him controlling the hand.

Edit: Finally found an embeddable link to the video.

SPACE.com -- Review: As a Disaster Film, '2012' Succeeds

A review of the upcoming Disaster film (Yes, with a capital "D"; it's from the maker of "Independance Day" and "Day After Tomorrow") starring John Cusak. Bottom line appears to be that the film is entertaining, just don"t look too hard at the "science". That said, the "hero" is actually a government scientist (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor) who is the film's moral compass and illustrates the issue of how certain you have to be to issue an alarm on such as massive scale.
