Patent 6754472 http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_999310.html?menu= 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)...
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$
**** that! Linus owns me! Come and get me M$! I DARE you to overcome my open-source protective shell! You can't? Why not? Are you incapable of CHARGING for it!? PETTY FOOLS! Sorry, I'll go back to my corner now.
*bad lipsync* Hah! Your OS quite good old man. But my OS better than your OS! Your OS is obsolete! My OS will destroy your OS and I will laugh at you!
My OS OPEN SOURCE! Mean many decent and some very good programmers ALWAYS altering my OS! You attack, I change! THERE IS NO SPOON! But honestly, I'm sure as hell not using a M$ OS on anything directly connected to MY skin. I'm seeing a whole new meaning to BSOD...
*bad lipsync* Huh, what? You defied my OS! Not possible! You know secret moves of ancient Zen Master Linus! Hooohhhh....
I don't want any cyber crap in my body, I was born with all my needed bits, and I shall die with them. 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."
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...
