This news has just appeared under my eyes... if it's true, I think we're on a complete and terrible delirium... 
I report the news as is... no comment!!
Microsoft patents a method to transmit data and power over the human body:
Yesterday Microsoft was granted patent 6,754,472 for "Method and apparatus for transmitting power and data using the human body."
The human body is used as a conductive medium, e.g., a bus, over which power and/or data is distributed. Power is distributed by coupling a power source to the human body via a first set of electrodes. One or more devise to be powered, e.g., peripheral devices, are also coupled to the human body via additional sets of electrodes. The devices may be, e.g., a speaker, display, watch, keyboard, etc. A pulsed DC signal or AC signal may be used as the power source. By using multiple power supply signals of differing frequencies, different devices can be selectively powered. Digital data and/or other information signals, e.g., audio signals, can be modulated on the power signal using frequency and/or amplitude modulation techniques.
Terrible!
