Um, do we really, really want to implant something that thinks parts of us are food? It's not like the yeast are gonna say "whoa, we've had enough! If we get any more food we're gonna start multiplying like crazy, and we don't want that!"
AND they're connecting them to a mechanical device? Can you say "flesh-eating robots devour mankind"? ;-)

Submission + - Remote whiteboard with digital pen? 1
hardie writes: "I work from home. I and co-workers need to be able to send fairly simple drawings back and forth. Shared whiteboard software is available to do this, but drawing with a mouse is terrible. I think that pen drawing without a line appearing on the surface you are drawing on is likely almost as bad.
Is there a way to marry a digital pen (which leaves behind either a trail of ink or an equivalent, like marks on a graphics pad) to shared whiteboard software? It could work in Windows or Linux.
We do analog circuit design, and describing schematics verbally or with minutes delay to draw and send just isn't as effective.
Thanks,
Steve"
