Gillette Pulls RFID Tags In UK Amid Protests
akb writes "Indymedia UK is reporting that after protests against the trial of RFID tags by Gillette at a Tesco store in Cambridge, increasing press coverage, a boycott, and the growing mobilisation of campaigners against the intrusive use of the technology, Gillette have withdrawn their trial. RFID (Radio Frequency ID) tags are small tags containing a microchip which can be 'read' by radio sensors over short distances (for background see SchNEWS Feature / 2 part Guardian Article)."
Okay, so you are upset because Gillet is trying to understand who is buying what and why.
I imagine a future day when I walk into a store and everything I want to buy is within arms reach. I look forward to a day when people create entire lines of products just to make me (and people like me) happy. I hate to admit it, but this "fit in with the crowd" stuff drives me nuts. I am an individual, I want "jgardn" stamped on everything everwhere I go!
What's so terrible about that?
This RFID / photograph the customer / call them and ask them questions / etc... stuff is all to get the companies to understand who you are and what they can do to make you happy. Why is that a crime?
The radical sect of Islam would either see you dead or "reverted" to Islam.
All in step now, eh? You stupid skinhead fuck. When do you condone burning our books you ape-headed fuck? Stick your jackboot up your own ass or I'll kill you myself you stupid forsaken piece of human garbage.
And don't give me that shit about "it's a minority". If these people are in a minority, why don't you police yourself? Bust in their heads and throw them to the cops, so that you "peaceful demonstrators" don't end up in a rubber bullet rain.
Offtopic maybe but what about the lame shit who wasted a mod point - fucker!!
Well, they should, since RFIDs will eat your first born baby!!!!
The RFID tags track YOU!
