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 wanted to get a bunch of RFID tags and use them to track my pets.

    Oh well, is Tesco still going to use them?

      What were you going to do? Rip them off of some products you buy from there, then name your pets accordingly so it will show up on the scanner correctly?

      I always use my dog's name as a password. M/g1k-Ø3 hates the name.
