May 27, 2010 – Today’s most interesting stories in technology, media and entertainment:

Human Computer Viruses: Mark Gasson, a British scientist, was wondering what would happen if the computer chips in surgically implanted prosthetics got computer viruses — so, he infected himself with a computer virus to see.

A Swiss technology company is suing them for unauthorized use of their anti-piracy code. Warner Bros had no comment. Wow, you really can’t make this stuff up.
