Implants for Sensing Magnetic Fields
Okian Warrior writes "Wired is running a story about people who have magnets implanted in their fingertips. As a result they can sense ambient magnetic fields, including whether AC wires are carrying current. From the article: 'The fingertip was chosen because of the high nerve density, and because the hands are constantly interacting with the environment, increasing the chances of sensing electromagnetism in the world.'"
How long before I can get my 802.11 sensing fingertip implants?

So now you'll be able to literally feel the power?

if they touch my crt screen, they'll lose those implanted fingers!
Being near a big transformer gives the implant-bearer a vibrating fingertip. Just saying is all.
Oh, and going through an MRI might be a little painful.
Walk into the doctor's office wherever you are, just walk in, say "Doc -- you can mod any parts you want at Cyberdyne Restaurant" -- and walk out.
You know, if one Slashdotter, just one Slashdotter does it, they may think he's really sick and they won't take him.
And if two Slashdotters do it -- in harmony -- they may think that they're both TROLLIN' and they won't take either of them.
And if THREE Slashdotters do it! Can you imagine three Slashdotters walkin' in, singin' a bar of "Cyberdyne Restaurant" and walkin' out? They might think it's a HACKER CONSPIRACY.
And can you imagine FIFTY Slashdotters a day? I said FIFTY Slashdotters a day -- walkin' in, singin ' a bar of "Cyberdyne Restaruant" and walkin' out? Friends, they may think it's a movement, and that's what it is.

And all you gotta do to join it is to mod me (+1, Funny) the next time the mod points come 'round on the thread view. With feelin'.
So you want your fingers stuck to your back?

So, what happens when you get too close to another rare earth magnet? I would expect bad things.
Tell ME about it. Mine were adamantium!

If by powerful you mean painful, and if by orgasm you mean wound, then yes!
Smash your finger with a hammer and end up with chunks of metal floating around.
I don't know about you, but if I smash my fingers with a hammer it wouldn't be the chunks of metal that are on my mind.
Great, now men will be even more adamant about not asking for directions.

Finishing your post in the subject is
I met Todd at a dinner party, he also has a magnetic implant in his arm which bottle caps will stick too. Anyways here is part of that conversation from that evening:
Some friend of his whose a girl: The magnet in his arm gets him laid all the time, ask him.
Me: So do you get laid a lot because you have the magnet.
Todd: It isn't like I get laid from it everyday, but yeah once in awhile.
All my friends in near unison: I want a magnet in my arm.
... on second thought ...
just keep in mind your making it easier for magneto to get you to punch yourself in the face
