While tech companies compete to provide the most luxurious perks to lure employees, one company is heading into sci-fi territory by offering its employees "free microchipping" – totally optional, company representatives said. The company, Three Square Market (32M), will provide the microchipping service, which normally costs $300, on Aug. 1, according to a statement. The cyborg implant will allow employees the opportunity to log in to computers, open doors and use the copy machine without having to rely on analog alternatives like fingers and brains to accomplish those tasks.
