Pretty cool..
The only thing that makes me doubt the veracity is the last line:
"This product is waterproof and it is powered by pizza."

If it's real, I'd go for one for sure.

I think that they were just referring to this, from earlier in the article: A coin sized blood fuel cell in the implant converts the blood's glucose and oxygen from the artery to the electricity required to power the device. Used blood returns through to the vein. So it is technically powered by whatever you eat.
