The basic model would consist of a tiny GPS transceiver placed in a capsule and inserted under a person's skin, so that authorities could track him easily.

Model B would have an extra function — a dose of cyanide to remotely kill the wearer without muss or fuss if authorities deemed he'd become a public threat.

Rubber Circuits

Electrical engineers and materials scientists have developed electronic circuits that can bend, extend, and even twist into a spiral. Their design features small electronic elements embedded in silicone rubber and connected by bridges that change shape to accommodate strain when the surrounding material stretches. “Strain is what kills electronics,” says Yonggang Huang, a Northwestern University engineer with the team that developed the circuits.

No justice!” After several calls for order, Justice Padwihller was forced to clear the court before the trial could resume...."

Bionic sex chip

The prospect of the chip, which could be a decade away, is emerging from progress in deep brain stimulation, in which tiny shocks from implanted electrodes are given to the brain. The technology has been used in America to treat Parkinson’s disease.
