Intel Working to Incorporate Augmented Reality into Their Chips

Gizmodo has an article out that outlines Intel's work in bringing augmented reality technology into its' chips.

Ultimately this would mean that instead of complicated software, an operating system could take advantage of overlay graphics and information by simply making calls to drivers.

Then you could have those cool pull down menus and graphics through spectacles, flip down monocle or even straight to contact lenses.

Ohhhhh I fell like a terminator now!....whooooooooooo hooooooooo

and no the graphic is just some old broken chip thing that is supposed to look like terminator chips...lol

Electronic "tattoo" Patient Info On a Patch?

I know we haven't heard from Dr. Saunders in quite some time, but needless to say, he has left a legacy of paranoia concerning company/state run medical and advertizement. Some sort of subcutaneous chip was often in play with one of his stories or books. Well it would seem that present day "chipping" is not so far away of so very different than Saunders cautionary tales. According to a story I was reading in the Kim Commando News section of an article from Englemend News - Scientists at the University of Illinois have created electronic skin that wirelessly transmits vital signs. These "Wireless tattoo" provides patient monitoring without wires,or electrodes, but by simply applying an adhesive patch!

VeriChip to implant RFID in FL. alzheimer patients

Shaun A. Saunders sent this in saying, "I predicted this in MallCity 14"
I read the book, and this is only the start. For a piece of fiction, it is hitting way to close for comfort! (pac)

The Delray Beach, Fla.-based company VeriChip Corp. has announced plans to implant 200 Alzheimer's patients in Palm Beach County with radio-frequency identification chips as part of a pilot study to test the new technology. According to VeriChip's CEO Scott Silverman, the VeriMed chip will eventually provide peace of mind to the families of Alzheimer's patients by providing a safety net in case a patient should get lost. The chip is not a GPS device, Silverman emphasized, and cannot be used to track people in whom it is implanted. All the participants in the two-year study are volunteers, and Silverman expressed pleasure with the study's reception so far.

The article is and should be a warning of things to come. The cancer scare is obviously not putting off too many plans.

China Enacting a High-Tech Plan to Track People

It looks like AT&T is gearing up for more than just selling the American public out to the NSA.
Check this out! I found the link on Boing Boing. This stuff just isn't going to go away. What do you think Shaun?

Starting this month in a port neighborhood and then spreading across Shenzhen, a city of 12.4 million people, residency cards fitted with powerful computer chips programmed by the same company will be issued to most citizens.

Data on the chip will include not just the citizen’s name and address but also work history, educational background, religion, ethnicity, police record, medical insurance status and landlord’s phone number. Even personal reproductive history will be included, for enforcement of China’s controversial “one child” policy. Plans are being studied to add credit histories, subway travel payments and small purchases charged to the card.

Revolution, flashmobs, and brain chips. A grim vision of the future

Information chips implanted in the brain. Electromagnetic pulse weapons. The middle classes becoming revolutionary, taking on the role of Marx's proletariat. The population of countries in the Middle East increasing by 132%, while Europe's drops as fertility falls. "Flashmobs" - groups rapidly mobilised by criminal gangs or terrorists groups.This is the world in 30 years' time envisaged by a Ministry of Defence team responsible for painting a picture of the "future strategic context" likely to face Britain's armed forces.
