Resistance is futile....

I don't know if it's kind of a joke but the borg world is coming to us

Microsoft has been awarded a patent for using human skin as a power conduit and data bus.

Hey first image of a  Microsoft borg  (surely drawn by Bill's kid :-)

LOL

  • I really have to wonder if the implications of this have been though through - I mean surely passing an electrical current as a set frequency through the body just makes it a transmitter? Is that even legal. Also, I'm not aware of any research (there almost certainly is some) looking at the safety of having electrical currents at these frequencies flowing trhough the body - people go nuts about the safety of mobile phones - that's only a few milliwatts (though at much higher frequencies).
