They seem to not give a rats ass about privacy as long as they feel nice and secure.

Put the chips in them, first.
I think that politicians should have to publicise their lives based on how much power they have. I wouldn't mind if every citizen could listen in on the Prime Ministers 16 hours a day and moniter a lie-detector strapped to him, too.
Ha, ha, good point!
In a democracy the mind-control chips would be stuck in the politicians heads. That should make them behave for once

That's a good idea. Mandatory mind readers for all politicians!

I'm pretty sure we'd still have politicians. Some people just feel the need to do that sort of thing (God knows why).We might have a problem finding anyone wanting to be a politician then.

Would this mean porn pop-ups every seven seconds?
Porn popups inside your head every 7 seconds? I'm sure that would be nothing new to a lot of guys

I was thinking the other way around... thought surfing in an internet café could be a dicy endevour.
Soon we'll even have telepathy technology. Communicate with others on the other side of the planet via radio signals generated by machines in the brain.
In fact why not go the whole way, transform human beings into machines?

Because no one knows how.
This is why the title is a little misleading. The brain chip isn't exactly reading the man's thoughts but the brain learn to commutate with the chip as it does when it tells your arm to move. The arm itself doesn't read your thoughts about punching someone then act but just waits for a signal.
Remember the article a few years ago where they wired a chimp's brain to a computer so it could read what parts of the brain is firing when the chimp is moving the controller to move an mechanical arm. I believe it was for two days they had the controller actually hooked up so the computer could recognize a pattern. After that, they disconnect the controller and found the computer could recognize the pattern to move the mechanical arm. The huge surprise was after 6 hours the chimps drop the controller and continue to move the arm yet not as good at first. Thus the chimp brain learn to how commutate to the computer not only without a controller but also without actually moving it's natural arm as well.

Disturbingly 1984esque..... I'm not sure I like this...

So... hooking an input/output and/or feedback system into the brain leads to the brain adapting to interface with that system?
Old news.

Again, did you even read the article? Nothing particularly 1984 about helping handicapped people. Unless you read Orwell in some weird way that I didn't.

we will probably be able to cure injuries like his long before this is ever perfected. the research and use of this technology until then will prove most beneficial for some war effort in the future I am sure.
Computers are also very useful in war efforts.
What is it with all the Luddism in this thread? Is it because the device is something you put in your brain? Are you all scared for your brains?
I really don't get it..
I would shockingly have to agree with that.
