Memory Stick-powered fitness machine

OK, so we exaggerate a little with the title; what this is is an "assisted" fitness machine that lets you get aerobic exercise by lying there and letting it move you around. Where the Memory Stick comes in is as a means to store your personal data. This is particularly important since the machine is moving your limbs around for you; it needs to know the range of movement of your joints to prevent it from going too far and, for example, ripping one of your arms off.

Unfortunately no photo because I am posting this from a bus in Okinawa (such dedication) via a Windows CE browser that unfathomably does not allow one to save images from web pages, but they're available in a ZDNet article here.

Update: Got a photo while playing in the hotel's rather cool library.

To prevent the data being tampered with or accidentally erased Sony has developed a modified Personal Memory Stick, which is divided into a protected area where settings are stored in encoded form and a personal area from which they and other data can be read, but not altered, on a home PC and used to generate graphical representations of how many calories you're losing or the total volume of your biceps plotted against those of Arnold Schwarzenegger (probably).

Given our day jobs as international spies, dottocomu is wary of using one of these machines lest someone determined--an evil organization bent on world domination, say--hack the protection and mess with our data to try and have the machine pull us limb from limb in a James Bond stylee. We do, however, find the idea of a fitness machine which doesn't require any effort rather appealing.
