Someone hacked my dental work
from Blueserker
The industrial design firm Creganna has submitted a prototype to the IDSA "Untethered Body" design contest that ends Nov 12, 2004. The device, called the dDrive, is a Bluetooth enabled 512mb hardrive that can be implanted as a tooth.
"The Bluetooth enabled hardrive allows an individual to store critical personal information that can be accessed by any other Bluetooth enabled device. We believe the dDrive will revolutionize medical records, security, and other personal information."
Corporate security consultants are already warning that this will create a major problem for many corporate information security policies.
Airlines in the US have already indicated that they will completely support and promote the dDrive, even offering expedited checkins and discounted tickets to individuals using the dDrive.
Only 512 of memory? As the folks at Gizmodo said, "I don't think I'll be giving up one of my teeth just for something that's going to be obsolete in a year. At least not just for storage - get a Bluetooth-enabled cellphone headset in there and we'll talk about it."
