Applied Digital Solutions got medical clearance from the FDA for their VeriChip and the stocked has jumped almost 40% in a few hours. I'm not just mentioning this since I own stock in the company.

I think VeriChip and Digital Angel are very cool, albeit a slight bit Orwellian. Digital Angel has been used in pets for medical and security reasons for a while now and it's going to be a great tool for identifying people in the years to come. Whether it will become universal or not is anyone's guess. I'm sure there will be mega-resistance from the loony left and maybe even the right, but the future is here and you can't stop progress, or so they keep telling me.
