I find this invention incredibly useful and interesting... Twice the strength of a normal human? Truely amazing... I'm pretty speechless, so not saying much.

That is pretty cool. At first I second-guessed its credibility because all he did was pose in the suit, but it got better near the end.

I want one. I'd use it only for good, of course. Of course. And maybe so I could actually win that freaking wresling tournament this year...

I just want to know why they had to give it the abreviation of HAL. It'll make people creep out, and worry that it will malfunction and punch them in the face.

No. It uses the human brain, so no problems there.

This is awsome. I totally want to be a cyborg.

Someone give their marketers a big smack. Seriously, HAL? Cyberdyne? Is that what they honestly came up with?

Impressive...

Sort of an exoskeletal frame to help support weight I guess. Awesome.

However it really worries me, considering that for about a year now I have been planning on taking classes through highschool and college leaning towards pieces of something I want to invent, but I'm worried someone else will come up with it first, and it relies largely on reading the electric signals sent out that this thing reads. Hmmm.

I knew it would happen some time. If they didn't I would. All it means is that freerunning will be taken up a level, and I'll need to find another way to make a fortune.

Oh, and that the world just got that much more awesome.
