I can't even.
The technique could one day be used to create videogames in which you can smell, taste, and touch, or to help people who are blind or deaf.
Quite the sense of priority. "Oh yeah, man, with this tech we can kick fucking ass, also cure cancer, but -- the ass-kicking!"

Ann, that's a ferret.
Wasn't this the plot of Batman Forever? And Jim Carrey was using it as a tool of EVIL?
Sounds familiar. But I'm in the "Jim Carrey himself is a tool of evil" camp.

Reading that, I was wondering exactly how long it would take before advertisers start beaming commercials directly into people's brains.

We usually get a letter from the sheriff's office. It's scary to look them up on the internet, too--the mugshots are usually pretty damn freaky, not to mention the details of their convicted crimes.
Cashmere, the fact that you have a "usually" for this situation does not make me happy. Yikes.
And on a totally unrelated note, yay for the impending arrival of Princess Tickybox!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
California has a website for all that stuff.

Really? I'm in the "Jim Carrey himself is a TOOL" camp.

Hey! There's a solar eclipse today! Not anywhere near total for most of us, but still...

I've heard the 2 camps have a cooperation agreement. Visitors' privileges at each others' clubs and the like.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I don't know about other places, but we in Chicago are too far north to see any of it. (i.e. the moon won't cover the sun at all.) The further south you go, the more eclipse you'll see.
At this point, the moon is too far away from the Earth for there to be a total eclipse. Although earlier, it was briefly total over the Pacific or something.
