But I hear some PhD somewhere managed to make a technology that 
transfers data using human skin as the connecting medium. As the 
reviewer put it, "this raises the disturbing possibility that users 
could transfer data from one to another while having sex".

(Now, maybe it's just me, but I'm *far* more concerned by the fact that 
this is the first use-case that sprang into the reviewer's mind... Why 
the **** would you have your iPhone with you anyway?!)
