A round that costs an arm and a leg

Previously, we brought you the tale of how GPS was helping us to locate the nearest watering hole.
Now, Neil Morris spots the story in The Observer of the microchip that drinkers can have implanted in their arm.
‘So once you’ve found your way to the next whisky bar, you can buy a round without having to carry cash or a wallet,’ he tells us. ‘They’ll just scan the digital wallet in your arm and take it out of your account that way. Which is OK, provided the chip is in your arm. What if you were legless?’
