No, a Stolen iPod Didn't Brick Ben Eberle's Prosthetic Hand 122
New submitter willoremus writes A wounded Army vet had his $75k prosthetic hand bricked when someone stole his iPod Touch? Yeah, not so much. I'm a tech reporter for Slate.com, and a Slashdot post earlier this week prompted me to look into this story and ultimately debunk some of the key info. Sorry for self-posting, but I thought folks here might be interested in the truth since the false story was one of the top posts earlier this week.

Slashdot readers don't want the truth, they want their own version of reality that fits their particular political/sociological/etc. slant.

That's probably because your finger was bricked.
