RUMORS OF MY DEATH HAVE BEEN GREATLY EXAGGERATED, BY ME!
Okay, this goes into the really stupid things you can do with technology category. David Eagleman, apparently obsessed that "many people" in "critical condition" would have "no way of letting people know what has happened to them" started a website called Deathswitch.
"Huh?", you ask. This service will let your loved ones and friends know you're dead by emailing a pre-written notice. The system periodically asks for a password to make sure you are alive and functioning. If you fail to enter your password, the system will keep prompting you and after multiple failures, it will conclude you are dead or in critical condition. Sounds perfectly logical and fail safe to me. Okay David, step away from the keyboard!
