There are a few reasons why this could be an advantage but many reasons why someone (I) should not do this (most of them are long term ones).
My top 3 reasons for not implanting an RFID Tag into my body:
* I have to do regular checkups with my tog at the veterinary and from there i know that those implants (of the size of a rice grain) can wander around in the body. This is as far as i know no threat to your healthiness but its unpleasing as they can get unreadable. In this case they can get unreadable and you would have to implant a new one.
* If for any reason you want to remove the Tag you need to cut it out (and i really don't like doctors;) )
* I don't know how good they are protected against this but i think it should be possible to overload this devices in away that they hurt your body. And this would be a nightmare if such "overloading transmitters" would be available to "Script Kiddies". Imagine walking through a shop and some kids walk nearby you and blow your RFID Tag (ouch).
Well i think everyone should think more than twice if he implats Something intohis body
It is not UDP, but as Microsoft and Disney want to use it for Streaming Video they should use UDP. Every Broadband Video Stream i know uses UDP as it is not necessary that the connection is 100% reliable.
So why could they want to use TCP???
