    Im sure if they wanted they could wrangle royalties from 6 billion in court? Last time i checked "transmitting data" in the human body was through neurons/nerves.

    Those are my thoughts... or would be my thoughts but unfortunately I am only an end-user of MS My Brain (tm) and the licencing agreement says that by using MS My Brain (tm) I agree to the terms of the contract which state that I have only acquired the indefinite use of my thoughts but that in fact they remain the property of MS My Brain (tm)... :D

    Sounds like a good first step towards cyber-technology.
    Now we need direct neural (sp?) interface and we're set.

    Still a cool idea, too bad it is by M$

    My OS OPEN SOURCE! Mean many decent and some very good programmers ALWAYS altering my OS! You attack, I change! THERE IS NO SPOON!

    But honestly, I'm sure as hell not using a M$ OS on anything directly connected to MY skin. I'm seeing a whole new meaning to BSOD...

    I don't want any cyber crap in my body, I was born with all my needed bits, and I shall die with them. :thumb:

    I also definately do not want Microsoft in body. The last thing I need is a BSOD in the heat of the night.
    "Sorry honey, my dick crashed again. Dammit I wish Microsoft would patch the erection code." :blah: :wallbash:

    Ok, how about patenting guys with dumb haricuts? That way, we can get Bill as our intellectual property. And make him wear a penguin costume...
