iBot Self-Balancing Mobility Device FDA Approved
ptorrone writes "In November of 2002, I was able to see the self-balancing iBot mobility device, which can go up and down stairs and travel/balance on two wheels, in person. It literally brought tears to my eyes seeing what it will mean for millions of disabled people around the world. Today, the FDA has approved its use, after years of approval processes and testing." We've mentioned this Dean Kamen-created product previously, but it's good to see it officially approved and available for those who need it.
bork bork bork
Disabled people should be castrated
qwerty is the own.
teh hotness.
Why, golly! You're onto something.
It must be that the inventor spent
millions of dollars NEEDLESSLY to
get FDA approval.
Oh, had he only thought to ask the
wise readership of slashdot.
Just think. He spent millions in
testing and waited years to get approval.
And it turns out that according to
slashdot readers he didn't have to!
What a fool he has been. Thanks
slashdot!
that's right. the big 'problem' (apparently) is the whole deal is free (as in oxygen/water), & requires less participation in the Godless corepiate nazi monIEsuck/death march.

with the patentdead eyecon0meter. definitely requires yOUR attention, as we remain in crisis mode, whilst the evile wons seek new/exciting ways to keep the wool over yOUR eyes.
no blood oath/integrity test needed to pay the outrageous premiums to those fauxking thieves?
get off it robbIE.
the lights are coming up now.
you can pretend all you want. our advise is to be as far away from the walking dead contingent as possible, when the big flash occurs. you wouldn't want to get any of that evile on you.
as to the free unlimited energy plan, as the lights come up, more&more folks will stop being misled into sucking up more&more of the infant killing barrolls of crudeness, & learn that it's more than ok to use newclear power generated by natural (hydro, solar, etc...) methods. of course more information about not wasting anything/behaving less frivolously is bound to show up, here&there.
cyphering how many babies it costs for a barroll of crudeness, we've decided to cut back, a lot, on wasteful things like giving monIE to felons, to help them destroy the planet/population.
no matter. the #1 task is planet/population rescue. the lights are coming up. we're in crisis mode. you can help.
the unlimited power (such as has never been seen before) is freely available to all, with the possible exception of the aforementioned walking dead.
consult with/trust in yOUR creator. more breathing. vote with yOUR wallet. seek others of non-aggressive intentions/behaviours. that's the spirit, moving you.
pay no heed/monIE to the greed/fear based walking dead.
each harmed innocent carries with it a bad toll. it will be repaid by you/us. the Godless felons will not be available to make reparations.
pay attention. that's definitely affordable, plus you might develop skills which could prevent you from being misled any further by phonIE ?pr? ?firm? generated misinformation.
good work so far. there's still much to be done. see you there. tell 'em robbIE.
the rest of the wwworld is laughing/crying at/for US in sympathy/disgust, as we fall/jump into the daze of the georgewellian corepirate nazi life0cide, whilst criticizing their ip gangsters, which are also members of the walking dead.
Some handicapped ricer will have his plastered with a performance-enhancing "Type R" sticker, underglow, and a fart pipe 10 seconds after these hit the stores.
Brought tears to your eyes my ass...
What a pansy
