Sep 15, 2009 - The finger reflexes with the wedding finger are all wrong. At least for me, when I touch my palm with only my middle finger, my pinky AND my middle finger reflex, not just the pinky.

Sep 24, 2009 - Where have you tried to live?

Goldiney Says:

Sep 24, 2009 - Spent 2 years abroad studying International Finance in France and the U.K. Spent 3 months in Italy. As far as the best the E.U. has to offer - The United States is far superior. They're a nice vacation spot - however, the tax rates and rampant socialism is horrible.

Goldiney Says:

Sep 24, 2009 - It's not a neurological problem; it's normal due to our bone structure.

plainlake Says:

Sep 26, 2009 - I would think someone studying finance would have a problem with socialism. Its harder getting rich that way.

Oct 4, 2009 - There's one major flaw in the design: there are several bones that make up the palm of the hand. It would be incredibly difficult for any human to grasp an object if the palm bones were fused together, so why design a robot with a fused palm? They should create the palm with the exact same skeletal structure as the human hand for more accuracy at grasping objects for a greater efficiency.

Oct 21, 2009 - Goldiney it is not bone structure, the common rising of certain figures during flexing is due to ligaments and fascia in the hand that will pull on adjacent bones when 1 bone is pulled by a muscle.

Smood47 Says:

Oct 21, 2009 - 1 step closer to luke skywalker hand.
