Boing Boing: Deaf hacker rewrites implant-firmware so he can enjoy music again

Boing Boing: Deaf hacker rewrites implant-firmware so he can enjoy music again: Cory Doctorow writes: "The story is gripping, fascinating and informative -- a template for a tale that I believe will become more and more prevalent in times to come: a person who relies on computerized prosthetics not being satisfied with the features that were included with it out of the box, taking it upon herself to improve it, to extend it, using her own body and perceptions as a labratory for experiments on human perception and performance."

Glad to see you are updating again, just dropping in a comment to let you know there is still atleast one reader out here and I was worried for a while there wouldn't be anything else to read.
