You might be surprised. I bought a NuvoMedia ebook reader several years ago thinking I would only use it for limited applications. Since then I have read well over 200 books in digital format. I love being able to sit out in my back yard reading and not have to worry about turning the pages or having the wind blow around the pages.
I hope the Sony reader works as well as the NuvoMedia reader.
The tracking device is the license plate. This can easily be stolen, removed or altered. I thought that it was an interesting way to put it. I'm surprised it took that long to see someone accusing the author of not reading the article.
I would think that advertizers would love to have this in everyone's living room. Then, for example, the tivo could scan the rfid tags in the kitchen and serve an ad for Hunts ketchup to every pvr that detects Heinz 57 in the fridge.
"On this weeks very special Blossom.... Blossom is flying in an airplane and recognizes the symptoms of hypoxia while not looking for them specifically. Unfortunately the flight crew doesn't believe her because she isn't on the flight manifest. This Thursday, Only on ABC."
You are way off on what pilots use autopilot for. On most commercial flights these days the pilot rarely touches the yoke after takeoff. He enters all headings, altitudes, speed and vertical speed settings into the autopilot and the computer takes care of it for him.
In my plane I can enter my entire flight plan into the computer before taking off, engage the autopilot at 500 feet off the ground and not touch anything except the radio until the computer has me lined up for a landing at the destination airport.

Not only that, but they killed off all the great products that the company was making when they bought it.
Another poll showed that 33% of all statistics in Slashdot comments are jokes.
I would say it is more like the difference between a looter who leaves and IOU and a regular looter.

maybe you should realize that TFTD is ordinary license plates.

That's what quitting watching TV will get you. I couldn't even come up with 2 brands of ketchup.

Your feet don't stick to the floor of your living room? Must be nice!

Interesting theory. If I get you right it goes something like that ...
1. Flying Spaghetti Monster creates life.
2. Life evolves into humans
3. Humans evolve into Italians
4. Italians create spaghetti
5. Spaghetti evolves into Flying Spaghetti Monster
6. Goto step 1
I think that pretty much ends all debate between creation and evolution.
