"The patent says the body could generate the power needed to run its various attached devices in a similar way to self-winding watches." Also this: "Unlike radio signal networks such as Bluetooth, common on laptops, there should be no interference from other sources, and it should be more secure because nobody can eavesdrop." Nonesense. You shake hands with someone and find he's hacked your money-holder, emptied your bank account and maxed out your credit cards; downloaded your ID card and stolen your identity; made your video phone transmit nonestop so your amorous encounters appear on porn sites; downloaded a virus that turns your body into something that does the same thing to anybody else you touch. Try to take the things off and you'll find that all those doors that open automatically by pushing them (bank, office, home) don't work any more, because they aren't reading a password from your cyber-ware. -- Richard Urwin
