  2. Ert, sub-dermal tag? by petabyte on TiVo Files Patent For RFID Schema · · Score: 2, Insightful

    even a sub dermal tag inserted somewhere in the user's body.

    I'll be getting off the ride now thanks!! I know they want to cover that in their patent but it gives me the creeps.

    For real!!! Is there anybody out there who would be willing to get a sub-dermal RFID chip so that their TiVo could identify them? I mean, my key ring is full, but I bet I could fit one more thing on there.

    I thought the point of this chip wasn't so much security, as there is no place to keep your money/credit cards in a skimpy thong. So they are trying to encourage skimpy thongs, which I would imagine would drum up more business.

    There's a bar in spain that (optionally) uses subdermal RFIDs to pay for food and drinks. When someone arrives they link their credit card data to a particular tag and get it injected into their body, then it's just scanned whenever they paid for anything. The idea was to prevent against loss/theft from drunk students on holiday, I guess.

    Umm, yeah, I suppose anyone with a body piercing or tattoo would be likely to go for this.

    But I have a better idea. Those little fingerprint readers would be perfect for this. Y'know, like the ones used on the blackdog linux box or on the security mice. I mean you've got the remote in your hand, you're touching it with your fingertip, why not just read the finger that's holding the remote or pushing the button? No external hardware required.

    Screw 'em, I think I'll patent this.

  7. Is Slashdot scooped by EVERYONE?!?! by philovivero on The Little DVD Driver That Could Change Movies · · Score: 5, Informative
    I read this story on Friday morning. NTK Now covered it. The submission seems almost a word-for-word copy/paste of NTK Now's coverage. Hell, why not? I'll copy/paste NTK Now's coverage:
    TRACKING: sufficiently advanced technology : the gathering

    DVDSYNC is a low-level Windows filter that can sit between a DVD player and your DVD player software, and mess with data streams and controller commands on the fly. There's not much there yet but what there is demonstrates the great promise of the design. Already You can create your own subtitles (there are already some improved English subs for Gauche the Cellist, and a couple of other anime tracks). In the future, we imagine, you'll be able to perfectly sync-up extra audio tracks or even skin your own DVD menus. There's also, ahem, a filter to take out any DVD zoning information before it gets to the DVD playing software. In other words, a really useful utility for DVD watchers - and anyone who likes improving on the creativity of others - which will have the military- industrial-entertainment complex spitting blood. This is what TCPA, EUCD, DMCA and any anagrams thereof were cynically designed to smack down. Get it while you can. http://www.roundelay.net/dvdsynth/prerelease.html - despoiling our DVDs with homemade content?

    Now, don't you feel better?
