Sweet...although the military involvement makes it sound like the start of a sci-fi flick.

yeah. One of the first images that popped into my head when i watched the video was how cool a Predator-style turret would look mounted on his shoulder.

Never read any Gibson, but I' ve heard of him. A guy I know keeps recommending Neuromancer.
But that guy' s a jackass...only recommends books while I' m already reading something else, so I' ve pretty much just ignored him thus far.

Side note...when you see someone reading, the single most annoying thing you can do is walk up and ask" So, what you reading?"
So now, I gotta stop reading the book I was really into to to give you a synopsis, when you' re not actually interested anyway
I swear the next time somebody does that to me at work I' m going to kick them in the balls.

My only question is, will all that technology cost them 6 million dollars?

What if it' s a very attractive someone who' s interested in the book and you?
