Sony Develops Technology To Hack Your Hand

An anonymous reader writes "A device created by the University of Tokyo and Sony Laboratories called PossessedHand allows researchers to control a subject's hand via electrical stimulation. While currently being used to teach students to play the koto, a Japanese traditional stringed instruments, just imagine the possibilities! Twilight Zone anyone?"

Sounds cool and all, but we're talking about Sony here. Any 12 year old with a tutorial on sql injection could just walk in and hijack my hand.

Application in DRM?

So, the new "I didn't look at porn, it's a virus" is now "I didn't jack off, it's a virus"?

It's worse than that

Sony is just looking for a way to install a DRM rootkit on your nervous system.

Remember that article from a week ago about being able to turn memories on and off in rats with electrical signals [newscientist.com]? Now the next time you hear/view copyrighted media you'll immediately forget what you saw if you stop paying subscription fees for those memories.
