- johnnybgoode 17y agoAlso, see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=674647 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=674647 for a mechanical hack of Jackson's.

- Tichy 17y agoIf I get anything out of the news of his premature death, it is that excessive body hacking does not pay off. Not that I thought so before, but still.
- moe 17y agoHe paid the price for being an early adopter. His first surgeries were in the early 80s IIRC. Technology has advanced a lot since then. Just watch any sort of celebrity reporting on TV and try to make out who's modded and who isn't. As a matter of fact pretty much all A- and B-celebs are. But on many you can't tell or just barely. With a nod to HN one might say that MJ was in perpetual beta in that regard...
