This is not actually new news at all. I work for a small company and we developed a similar product 2 years ago. However, our product requires a small 1/64th inch hole drilled into the base of your skull in order for the micro probe wire to be inserted into the end users brain stem. This procedure is quite simple and can be done using local anesthesia and a cordless drill with the appropriate size drill bit. However, this new wireless technology sounds quite promising. I just hope our past clients don't see this news.

I've just cut a hole for my head in the bottom of my TV. This way I can become part of the action and just move from channel to channel at will.

we all know Mr.K invented it

HA!

Yeah...and an MX-3000 is sitting on my coffee table.

Really? How do you like it? ;-)

I hear it keeps fading in and out of existance.

Hmmmmmmmmmm... maybe the lithium battery is a dud. Try those new flat rechargeable "eh eh eh" batteries until you can get it replaced.

Yeah, here's a trade secret about those flat recharagables. You must place them in tap water to get them fully charged and alos to extent their life time too.

What size Drill Bit am I to Use for the Hole In my Head. 5/8 or 13/16?
What Speed do I set my Drill at and do I use the hammer setting?

Depends on how WINDY it is in your neck of the woods. I'd hate to have too big a hole and have that whistling sound 24/7......

Sorry to dredge this up, but it looks like it's going to be more fact than fiction:

"Since the insertion of the tiny device in June, the 25-year-old has been able to check email and play computer games simply using thoughts. He can also turn lights on and off and control a television, all while talking and moving his head."

Which brings up the questions:
Is it X-10 compatible?
Does it integrate with Crestron, or do we need to write our own drivers?
Lastly, what are the chances of making it a two-way device? I know the guys at marketing over at FOX would love to be able to put commercials directly into your brain.

I had my barber run the wire up through my belly button. That way, if anyone asks, "Does he or doesn't he?" Only my barber knows for sure!
