Researchers Push Implanted User Interfaces 84
MatthewVD writes "A new, user interface-enabled generation of electronics that you wear under your skin could be used for convenience, or even pleasure, rather than medical reasons. Scientists at Autodesk Research in Toronto have implanted electronics with user buttons, pressure sensors and LEDs under the skin of a cadaver's arm and wrapped in artificial skin. The electronics could buzz you when you have an appointment, carry memory cards with data, or connect you in a social network with others wearing electronics."

Neat technology, but the use of cadavers is a little disconcerting.
Now we will have to fight off bluetooth and WiFi enabled zombies in the coming apocalypse.
Luckily for us the Zombies will probably be content to use WEP and 2GHz. No worries!
