How will Google deal with the massive amount of bandwidth that they must need for this? I bet they'll be deleting all of the unused accounts, just so those unused accounts dont suck up bandwitdh.
At my work, we built a humidity & temperature monitoring system using Modicon PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) which was used in Steinway Piano's manufacturing center. It monitored the temp/humidty of several rooms, and had some alarming & logging facilities.
You could do this with a Momentum PLC (one of the low-end of Modicons product lines) and a humidity sensor or two. For the PLC, you would need an I/O base and either a CPU module (which plugs into the I/O base)if you want to perform logic in the PLC (i.e., if signal #1 is greater than Value #1 for a time longer than Time#1, turn on Output#1, or something like that), or an Ethernet adapter, which will let you grab the data remotely with a client program.

That would work, but the laptop would need to power the RFID reader. Looking at the specs for a random RFID reader, it needs a constant source of 12VDC, drawing 200mA of power. I'm not sure of the capacity of laptop batteries, but I assume that this would drain them quickly.
I always decline to give any personal info to sales clerks - either that or I just lie. I was at Border recently, and as I was waiting in (an extremely long) line, I noticed that they were asking for customers email addresses. I wish I had the guts to carry out my devious plan that I thought up - "Why, yes I would like to recieve your spam. My email is L-I-C-K-M-Y-B-A-L-L-S-at-I-R-A-P-E-D-Y-O-U-R-M-O-M -dot com. Thanks!"
It might be worthwhile to purchase an industrial keyboard, so that when you're following that pancake recipe on the screen and you spill your batter on the keyboard, everything wont go *poof*.

Many of his Library of Congress recordings have been released as "Lead Belly". Document Records "Complete Recordings of..." series are under the name "Leadbelly" His gravestone says "HUDDIE (LEAD BELLY) LEDBETTER"
Only 4 more per second, but that's 240 more per hour! Definately worht the extra cash...
