Pong's new frontier

Score another step in the scary/exciting blurring of the edge between science fiction and science fact. A few years ago, a man was paralyzed. This year, he plays Pong with his brain through use of an implanted chip. Someday, maybe we'll all Google with our minds. Collective, wireless, instant-access overmind, anyone? Or maybe just a reason to forget about memorizing the state capitals in alphabetical order.

"I know kung fu."
