'Biohacker' Implants Chip in Arm

Kids, don't try this at home: A self-described "biohacker" had a big electronic chip — almost as large as a deck of cards — inserted beneath the skin of his arm. Without a doctor's help. And without anesthetics.

Tim Cannon is a software developer from Pittsburgh and one of the developers at Grindhouse Wetware, a firm dedicated to "augmenting humanity using safe, affordable, open source technology," according to the group's website. As they explain it, "Computers are hardware. Apps are software. Humans are wetware."
