Wal-Mart Cancels RFID Trial

Posted by timothy on from the is-your-foil-hat-rfid-enabled dept.

EABird writes "CNet is reporting that Wal-mart has announced that they have canceled the RFID trial they were planning. Unfortunately, it looks like they are canceling it to focus on the use of the same technology in the warehouses and distribution centers instead, and waiting for the cost to come down before using the RFIDs in the stores."

    I don't shop at Walmart ever anyway. Even as a college student.

      Wow. Thanks for telling me that. I really cared whether or not some anonymous dude whom I've never met and don't even know the name of shopped at Walmart. I'll sleep much easier tonight, thanks for putting my curiousity to rest.

      Why did you think anyone cared whether or not you shop at Walmart? No, don't answer that. I still don't care.
