Sorry to burst this little bubble. Internet innovation has always been driven
by the pr0n and gambling industries. Those market sectors seem to be at

If somebody has a bad heart, they can plug this jack in at night as they go to
bed and it will monitor their heart throughout the night. And the next morning,
when they wake up dead, there'll be a record.
