TiVo Files Patent For RFID Schema
JamesAlfaro wrote to mention an article on the site TechWeb, which reports that Tivo has filed a patent for an RFID-based preferences schema. From the article: "The multimedia mobile personalization system would have a remote control that recognizes the viewer's RFID tag closest to the PVR. The remote control identifies and notifies the multimedia device through the RFID chip in the person's clothing or body to tailor the media content to their preferences. The remote control device would identify and link the viewer to the system using an 'RFID tag that is attached to a key ring, necklace, watch, in his wallet, or even a sub dermal tag inserted somewhere in the user's body.'"
Think of the children!!!
Oh, nevermind, you can stop thinking about the children.
We already did before....this is just a DUPE

Just a thought.
Just as we have the ability moderate comments, I wonder if it should be possible to moderate stories? There are a number of dupes here (zonk, it is not just you). In addition, this would be a way to allow the users to help decide which stories are more relevant. Perhaps, allow a user to order based on dates, relevants, posts, or mods?
Otherwise, any chance of setting up a DB to allow for quick searches for the editors?
I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.
