I am not sure how worthy this item is... whether it is true or not. I do know that if it is true, we who have pacemakers (especially the ones with built-in defibrillators) need to ask our physicians about this. If this article has merit, then we who have these devices implanted in our chests, with the expectation that they function to save our lives, then we definitely need to follow up this story and find out what truth or fiction is involved. Not only Cheney has a cardiac implant! Please don't stab at him because when you do that, you are stabbing at thousands of people, from age 2 weeks of age to those 80+ years old, who are dependent on these devices to keep their hearts pacing at a proper rate, thus keeping them alive. I will be contacting my doctor and will suggest that others do the same. I am not familiar with this particular site, but hopefully I will root out if the info on here is fact or fiction or something in between. Have a blessed day!

... and seven people died in 1982 when a killer put cyanide-laced painkillers on supermarket shelves in Chicago.

Omitting the year leaves the reader wondering if the event happened last week.

In our fair city, RFID's are a requirement by law for pets [Cats/Dogs].

What would stop a world government, extending this law to humans and applying this application found by this hacker towards crime prevention?

And, a world government bent on controlling populations by electro-attrition?

As Einstein which he would have not said anything, think about it you would be hackers out there.

Man with breast implants very sexy, that would be me. When I smoke my weed things get really fun, all by myself.

Heres bit from AMD next to Nvidias Conf:
There are three chipsets available, the SR5650, SR5670 and SR5690, all variants of the RS890 chipset, known on desktops as the 785G. While the name is halfway between the 780 and 790 chipsets, this one is based off the next generation 8xx silicon, not the 18-month old 7xx versions. The main difference between the three new SKUs is the PCIe2.0 lanes, with 22 on the -50, 30 on the -70, and 42 on the -90.

Lying low.

the pacemaker connects via shortrange wireless link to a dock which then connects over the internet to uplaod/download data. knowing the persons name to decrypt the data is pretty cool. Lets say you know a name like Dick Cheney and you happen to know where he lives and you happen to have the patience to wait for him to uplink his pacemaker to send data to his doctor and lets just say you have a personal vendetta. lot of variables there but the name is popular so that increases the odds a bit. egads, the secret service are nocking on the door. help me, they is gonna guantamole me.

"Doctors can access modern pacemakers and defibrillators over the Internet via a short-range wireless link similar to those used in RFID devices."

A short-range wireless link is not the same thing as "over the Internet".

Yes, this is a very real concern and is good that is being brought to light, but it's not as if some script kiddie or Chinese hacker is going to be able to remotely hack it "over the Internet".
