Remember Wafaa Bilal? He was the guy who was going to surgically implant a camera into the back of his head. Well, he did it. And here’s what it looks like:
To be fair, Bilal actually “only” implanted a camera dock (titanium disc) into his skull, not a camera. The camera will attach to the disk magnetically to complete the trick.
His head is very sore right now (from the surgery) but when it heals, he’ll start snapping pics of his life at 1 minute intervals. Basically, it’s on to the boring part now. [CNN]

The camera will attach magnetically ? Don’t think so.
titanium is non-ferromagnetic, patients with titanium implants can be safely examined with magnetic resonance imaging (convenient for long-term implants).
