Chinese Develop Remote Controlled Pigeons

Many readers sent us links to the story about Chinese scientists developing pigeons whose flight can be controlled remotely. The best coverage may be Wired's, both because they link to the English language version of the original Peoples Daily Online release, and because of the (disturbing) photos. The birds can be commanded to fly left, right, up, or down. Reader KDan writes, "A number of obvious uses jump out to me... the remote-controlled pigeons will finally allow us to create an efficient implementation of RFC 1149 and RFC 2549."

If they have been experimenting on human prisoners with this. The Chinese government has been very successful in hiding or white washing their atrocities. Some day we will find that Hitler had nothing on the modern day Chinese government.
