    With Wi-Fi networks in "hundreds of feet" and with E911 location requirement in "tens of feet" it will never work.

    Phone carriers have to meet E911 / CALEA requirements in the next year.

  7. Gillette to purchase 500 million RFID tags on RFID: The New Big Brother ? · · Score: 2, Interesting


    RFID is present technology not new technology, it's already in products available today.


    Gillette Confirms RFID Purchase

    Update: Gillette has confirmed that it will purchase up to 500 million RFID tags from Alien Technology.

    Jan. 7, 2003 - The Gillette Company confirmed yesterday that it has placed a major order for RFID tags from Alien Technology. Neither Gillette nor Alien indicated how much Gillette would pay for the tags, or the terms of delivery. Alien's Pounds Still, the announcement is a milestone of sorts because it is the first commercial order for products that incorporate the Electronic Product Code (EPC) developed by the Auto-ID Center. It is also the first multi-million dollar order Alien has received.

    RFID Journal broke the news that Gillette planned to purchase 500 million RFID tags on Nov. 15 after Gillette VP Dick Cantwell told a private meeting of the Auto-ID Center's board about the company's plans (see Gillette to Buy 500 Million EPC Tags). Cantwell said then that Gillette would buy 500 million EPC tags from Alien.

    However, Gillette's press release indicates that it may purchase may fewer than half a billion tags. It says: "Gillette will begin testing tag technology through its supply chain by placing RFID tags in select products for the US market. If successful, up to half a billion tags could be placed on Gillette products over the next few years."

    Tom Pounds, Alien's VP of marketing and business development, told RFID Journal that there are terms and conditions that would allow Gillette to order less than 500 million tags. However, he added that Gillette has committed to purchasing "a significant chunk of that total."

    Gillette plans to use the tags with smart shelf technology that was also developed for Gillette by the Auto-ID Center. The smart shelves, which have built-in RFID readers, will be tested in stores in the US and UK beginning this month, as part of the third phase of the center's field test.

  10. Digital copy of your fingerprint stored? on Secure PDAs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It must have a digital sig of your fingerprint stored on the PDA and I would want this protected more than any of the data it's trying to secure.

    Does anyone think this can be hacked off the pda. If a digital copy was released to the net you would have to get new fingerprints made. ;), sound like new a business idea.
