Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
Microsoft 'patents human skin'
Microsoft has reportedly succeeded in patenting human skin as a new kind of network. InSourced claims recently awarded US Patent No. 6,754, 472 is a 'method and apparatus for transmitting power and data using the human body'. The patent, it says, is part of a new plan to link together several devices using skin as a connector. As an example, Microsoft says it would be possible to have just one speaker for a person's watch, PDA, and portable radio, if they were all connected to that speaker through skin. It adds that different devices could be powered from a single power source strapped to the skin. Each would be driven by multiple power supply signals working at different frequencies, and data and audio signals could also be transmitted over that same power signal. The power source and devices would be connected to the body via electrodes. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_999310.html?menu= Here's another article.

Re: Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
I like this idea. It's convenient and I hope there are no painful surgical prerequisites.

Re: Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
How come I'm imagining those weird back neck things from the Matrix and Exo Squad as a result? Hmm... on the other hand, I do want to know kung fu..........
