[Electronics-talk] ooooo yikes!/Could this pill replace passwords? | One Page | Komando.com

[David Thomas]

I find Komando's stuff a bit sensational, and I feel she uses a lot of scare
tactics to drive fear throughout the population. Personally I think it would
be really cool to be connected to computers and have chips in my body, but
that is just me. Please don't include information about the bible in this
discussion because the book was written way before computing was conceived
by man kind.

Okay, as long as it tastes like chocolate, bacon, or chocolate-covered
bacon.
