If you have a heart attack - you will appreciate the effort they are making to ensure communications. It's not about convenience - it's about liability.
A few million dumbfucks won't be able to use their phones for a few minutes/hours. This is a disaster scenario that companies are planning for well in advance? If you are so important that you can't be missed for a few hours while you go to see an eclipse obviously you shouldn't be going at all.
Bones and hard tissues = easy.
Vessels, nerves, supporting tissue = nigh impossible.
If technology ever got to the point where we could do this, we wouldn't be using soldiers to do our fighting.

I think an excellent alternative is to use Super Luminova thread. No battery needed. 12+ hour brilliant glow with a 10 minute charge in daylight. Multiple colors. 10 year shelf life. No nasty radiation to speak of.
Ha ha! What do we (in the US) expect? We have a president that insists on saying the word "nukular".
Me thinks Lieutenant Chekhov is the only one qualified to use the alternate pronounciation - as in "We've found the nukular wessels Captain, and yes, it is the Enterprise".
Is there any way that M$ can turn this into another DMCA crusade to stifle it. I don't know enough about the Xbox. But, given M$ history, M$ money, and M$ attitude, they should be all over this like a hawk.
...tend to break. Many things happen to airplanes when materials fail at high speed. Most all of them are bad. There are already problems with metal fatigue in current passenger airplanes - especially with hidden fractures in carbon fiber composites that are difficult to detect.
