Smart Billboards

djdanlib writes "The New York Times ran this story Sunday about the Mobiltrak smart billboard system. It works by detecting what radio station you're listening to as you pass by a billboard, then displaying advertisements targeted at that station's demographic. It's kind of like a real-time Nielsen Ratings system for radio. And it's entirely passive, requiring no special hardware in your car - it receives the faint tuning signal generated by your radio." We've mentioned these before.

    Just wait. They'll be gone in a few years.

    Then, of course, you will be complaining about the US being a world's policeman. You eurofags won't be happy with anything the US does, so we'll just ignore you from now on.

    Just ignore them, man.

    The only thing the ungrateful eurofags want is any opportunity to bash America, Americans and the president in particular.

    Doing the right thing doesn't matter anymore.

    I agree, and you're most likely right. I'm one of those weird people that gets prepared before they go out.
