Man Stuns Scientists, Morphs into Real-Life RoboCop

Can we have real life Robocop?  Or Iron man?

There are so many advances being made in technology today. But those that will have bigger pay offs will be in health care.  Here it is about prosthesis and medical rehab.

ALSO IN TODAY'S ISSUE: China's Premier Falls on His Sword [Full Story] Drilling for Yield in the Golden Triangle [Full Story] Highly PO'd, Dianne Feinstein Starts Mudslinging [Full Story] Two years ago, life for Errol Samuels came to a crashing halt. When a roof collapsed, he suffered irreversible spinal damage that left him a paraplegic. He thought he'd never walk again... but thanks to a stunning innovation, he's back on his feet. It's called ReWalk - a state-of-the-art robotic exoskeleton that could ultimately render wheelchairs obsolete. Customized to fit Samuels' body, he controls the skeleton with a device on his wrist. His commands are fed to a computer on his back - and the skeleton moves accordingly. It's challenging, though... Tick, Tick, Tick... Time is already beginning to run thin on Karim Rahemtulla's latest opportunity. That is, to pocket no less than $4,190 by sundown tonight. It's easily the most time-sensitive research I'll send you all year. Click here for the urgent details. As Dr. Alan Kozlowski, Assistant Professor of Rehabilitation at Mount Sinai's Icahn School of Medicine, notes, "It's learning to walk again, so initially, we'll help them a lot. We'll physically move them into that position, so they get a sense of how to move with the device. Then we'll decrease how much assistance we give to help them reach that balance point." Result? A Real-Life RoboCop With determination and practice, Samuels says it's getting easier. And it's worth the effort, since the skeleton is giving him newfound independence. It can even help him climb steps. "I feel like RoboCop!" From here, Kozlowski says, "As the technology evolves, I can see these things becoming a replacement for wheelchairs. Or they might be integrated as a combination device, where the exoskeleton is part of a wheelchair, but when you want to get up and walk, you leave the wheels behind and away you go." He expects ReWalk to be approved for home use in the United States, offering paraplegics mobility they never thought possible. * * * * * * * * * * My Boldest Call Ever By MARTY BIANCUZZO, Chief Technology Analyst Last Saturday, I stuck my neck on the block by arguing for a BlackBerry (BBRY) turnaround. I know... it's the ultimate contrarian call. But hear me out. I mentioned that four pillars hold the key to rebuilding BlackBerry. And I already covered the first pillar – automotive infotainment. This involved QNX - the software "microkernel" company that BlackBerry acquired, which is helping Apple (AAPL) embed its CarPlay system into roughly half its auto manufacturer partnerships. Let's dive into the final pillars today... Pillar #2: Hardware While smartphones once made BlackBerry a dominant mobile force, they've since bled the company dry for years. But in December - just one month after becoming BlackBerry's new CEO - John Chen struck a deal with Foxconn (Taiwan: 2354) to help stem the $1 billion in quarterly losses from unsold devices - mainly from the Z10, which bombed in the United States. The partnership signals BlackBerry's new strategy. Before, it kept trying to play catch-up in an overcrowded U.S. market - and kept getting crushed. But it's now taking a different approach...
