    2. @mikegerwitzMay 2012· in “Is an open-source pacemaker safer than closed-source?”

      Karen Sandler of the GNOME Foundation discussed an issue similar to this nearly a year ago at OSCON (2011): this video Indeed, the first thing that came to mind when I saw this presentation was RMS' comment, as mentioned in this article.

    3. @notmFeb 2012· in “Wireless drug-delivery microchips, more consistent than injections”

      I feel uneasy with body implanted microchips running proprietary software that can be accessed wirelessly. Am I the only one? Sure no, ask Karen Sandler. Relevant: this video
