This whole brain-implants-for-gimps meme is really starting to take off. Now The Guardian has a story on it. Sure, it’s all good PR now, but what happens when some quad with an implant goes all Dr. Octopus and starts hijacking computer networks with his mind in his quest to take over the world? No more fuzzy human interest stories, I promise you.

It’s an exciting idea – I hope it takes off!
I see you have xml on your site – would you mind if I created a LiveJournal feed for the 19th Floor?
I happen to know you’re just taking this alarmist view in an attempt to angle yourself into a better position to be that machine/gimp hybrid overlord someday.
“But he seemed so aghast by the idea!” they’ll say, in a darkened corner, after it’s all over and done with.
