This almost makes me wonder if the asteroid in question wasn't actually spotted BEFORE passing earth and not after, as has been stated. Perhaps someone was pressured to hold of on reporting the discovery until it was safely past the home world (or there was no one left on it to read the report?).
blue tooth modules for small runs, prototyping here:

" * The ISM is a Bluetooth Class 1 Module designed to plug into a host motherboard for evaluation purposes or small production runs, it can then be transferred into full volume production with the minimum of design requirements avoiding any lengthy design cycles and lowering design costs dramatically
* Bluetooth 1.1 pre-qualified Class 1 - +6dBm
* Fully pre-approved - no Bluetooth or RF knowledge required from integrator
* Data transfer rates up to 200,000 bps
* Range in excess of 100 metres open field
* Stand-alone module with integral TDK ceramic antenna providing excellent interference rejection - ideal for noisy environments
* Very simple integration with existing embedded application
* Hayes AT style command protocol - no Bluetooth knowledge required
* Serial Port Profile & Audio Profile on module
* Serial Port Profile removes need for Bluetooth pairing, alternatively, security features such as PIN and pairing can be added simply by configuration through the S registers
* Bluetooth activity displayed via 2 LEDs
* All I/O lines accessible via S registers using the AT protocol
* AT Command Set - behaves like modem - Bluetooth stack is made intelligent
* 100m range, but low power - achieved with CSR 2nd generation leading BC2 silicon chipset and TDK ceramic high gain antenna
* Fastest implementation - because no Bluetooth knowledge is required, applications are very fast to develop - excellent time to market
* Interoperability - utilities available to integrate with PC's, PDA's and mobile phones
* No microprocessor or extra Flash- fully implemented within virtual machine, full Bluetooth stack embedded in module - no external stack required

list price was 129.00
Strangely the form at: http://www.microsoftcalsettlement.com/ only seems to work properly (generating a custom claim form) for those running a MS web browser.. How odd
