Bionic limbs controlled by thought are now officially working without additional disfiguring surgery. So far they can move, and feel strokes and temperature; the next versions will include more precise tactile feedback. For some reason it didn't make the front page news, but I'll be cynical another day.

How fucking amazing is that?
