Yes I would say that the brain bleeding is probably a physical installation issue, not frying the brain.

I think though you're reading more into my comments than are there. I've not said I'm for getting a chip in my brain nor anyone else's, including the primates. My comment was around the point that if you are going to argue or fight something, you need to be honest on how you do it. Your clear emotional response to this is keeping you from seeing that. Over sensationalizing or misrepresenting the facts doesn't help your stance. The truth here is that they really messed up at least a couple of times with the physical installation of the chips, that led to a degradation in the quality of life of the test subjects and eventually death. But not anything that would be like "frying" someone's brain. And that, those facts alone should give one pause before signing up for anything like this. Especially when you consider, no matter who or what company pursues this, this is bound to happen. Any new hardware or software fails during at least development let alone post release so it's not surprising at all these results occurred, considering what they are doing. I'd imagine if this chip functions as it should, the only people that would consider it, currently at least, would be those without any other option and their quality of life is already dismal due to their health issues.
