   "...Those create possibilities for interference with other, similar devices..."
   
   No. I call BS on this. You can't share your music [wirelessly] with someone else if they can take that away.

   And when you shake hands?

   Does this mean that when you shake hands with someone similarly "enabled", you get a quick blast of whatever they're listening to, and they from you?
   
   Can we share sweet music together if we just walk around holding hands?

   mashup, Nov 28th, 2006 @ 8:38am

   
   

   Would shaking hands constitute a mashup?

   If two people shook hands and shared their music, wouldn't this be a mashup? Then the RIAA could start suing anyone who shakes hands for making unauthorized mashups.

   Not from Sony, please

   C'mon... these are the same people that have batteries exploding everywhere. Why I would I want them to create technology using my body as a conduit?

   Re: Re: And when you shake hands?

   Music though the body, done that in the 60's.
   
   This post reminded me of Don Brittian Enterprises
   out of Hawaii and his sex electronics division. An
   unsung 60's electronics pioneer... sorta.
   
   Don't turn the music up too loud! It might tingle
   some.

    Don't think the body would be an effective enough conductor....you would likely need a huge battery source, and then you ask, is it really needed to begin with?

    You can use the body as a battery as well then forgo the betteries blowing up. You just need to eat your Wheaties in the morning.

    Re:

    I locate underground utilities, we use a radio transmitter on 8kHz to 65 kHz range and i know that if i touch a lead to one finger and another to the wire i'm locating it will tone down, not as well as a direct hookup, but enough to send the signal down the wire for a few hundred feet compared to 500 or 1000 ft if i had a direct hookup. the radio transmitter only uses 8 d batteries. Your body naturally conducts electric. much like water... it could work.
    If you wana try a way at home... get a portable radio or boombox with an antenna and touch it with bare fingers, you will amplify the recieved signal a bit.... a lot like tv rabbit ears. It's definatly feasable if not applicable.

    "directly to the brain"

    Your brain pretty much _can_ "tap directly into" audio. It's just a mechanical vibration of some bones (and thence some hairs). So why not just push the audio into the bones directly?
    
    You can experience this just by putting the flat part of your headphones against your skull. Why not at your spine at the base of the neck?

    direct to brain transfer -- Patented.

    why bother with headphones at all? Why not then work on transmitting the sound in a way that your brain can tap directly into it? Quick, someone file the patent application...
