Verichip's (CHIP) implant may be linked to cancer


taser gunIt seems that Verichip Corp (NASDAQ: CHIP) will have some fancy footwork to do in light of a recent study, which allegedly links subcutaneous data chip implants with aggressive malignant tumor growth as reported by Engadget. Have no fear though, I'm sure that Verichip will quickly release its own scientific report to fully discredit any assertion that chip implants aren't good for you. Currently, there are approximately 2,000 implant recipients in the United States. Never mind that the Japanese have yet to make the technology secure enough to protect a personal bus pass.

That's your future folks, the corporate world with the assistance of "well meaning" social engineers in government and your tax dollars, want to know where your pet is, where your car is, where you are and where every farm animal on the planet is at any given moment. Will it ever happen? Just you try to fight it.

With the alignment of Taser International Inc. (NASDAQ: TASR) and iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ: IRBT) to design and manufacture robotic mobile zapping devices for government agencies the world over, if you get too aggressive in your protests they'll just send a flying Roomba clone draped in a copy of the Patriot Act. Where's Issac Asimov when you need him?
