These devices have only been around for the last 5 years or so. This is an advertisement NOT NEWS!

How much did this ad cost? Why was it not disclosed to be an ad??? BOGUS!

There are tons of "ads" on here now. I can't even keep up with the real science news when there are ~200 stories posted a day.

But to anyone who doesn't like these fluff pieces, take a second to load the page and vote accordingly!
