A few people have sent me this link about yet another experiment involving a neural implant and a person with a disability.  In this particular case, the experiment subject was able to manipulate a robotic arm with his brain impulses.  The article does point out a couple downsides of the experiment.  First, the chip wasn't perfectly responsive one hundred percent of the time.  Second, the subject had a lot of hardware poking out of his skull to facilitate a cable connection to a computer.  As eager as I am to get one of these chips installed inside me so that I can begin my ascendancy to Supreme Commander of the legions of gimp cyborg revolutionaries, I think I'll wait for the wireless version.  I already have a couple of orifices that aren't factory-standard on this body and I don't really desire another one.  And I don't think women find exposed gray matter terribly sexy.
