So, basically you want a movie of these running around?

Yes, they are rather common. Here's an example of cheekbone implants gone wrong...

Now, would the computer be able to catch all of this? The after in relation to the before? ;-)

This one is one of my wife's favorites: http://www.awfulplasticsurgery.com/

How can you post that without an obligatory link to awfulplasticsurgery.com?

On Awful Plastic Surgery from now on? Between Michael and Liza, Lindsay and all them other teeny-boppers (not to mention Brittany... hell, she'll go thru a face a week!) we may never again know who to blame for the awful performance we just put up with.

Maybe they'll just trade faces back and forth, like some cheesy Hollywood masque. That's really screw up the critics!

...why she's destroying her nose with bad plastic surgery.

Cochlear implants, which employ digital pulses that the brain interprets as sound, can help profoundly deaf people hear. Advances were also being made on implants that can help fix eyesight problems, Gates said.

Where did you read Windows(tm)? A chip is quite something else as an OS that you'll run on your brain. Your brain and neurons will take care of things an OS would take care of. Call it brainOS or whatever. It operates your body, duh. It interacts with the "kernel" being your contience or what you perceive as "you".

A chip sending pulses to correct certain things going wrong between the "kernel" is quite a difference, it'd be rather an "enchantment" to the "OS" you already have, and to correct bugs oneself introduced (heardamage by frequent load concerts, eye meets pointy object) or which nature has introduced.

I can understand Bills' viewpoint; "I'm happy to have the computer over there and I'm over here.". And partially share it, as if you're going to build in all sorts of gadgets when there is NO need and it wont improve your life in any significant way (using your brain as a flashdrive for your MP3s perhaps compared to improving eyesight or giving someone who lost his limbs the ability to walk again) then I feel it's not required and it's just getting horny, hence losing a bit critical thinking, over the silicon. (not thinking about obsoleteness over time either)

Surgeon don't give a BSOD either. They do Fuck-up as well. Wanting computer implants solely for the fact it's "cool", "geeky" and you can be like those actors on various SF movies and series, then.. it doesn't do much justice to your intelligence.

unnaturally blonde horse-faced bimbos who are so insecure they need to resort to plastic surgery
