@Ted: Could you please clarify exactly when you were appointed as any sort of moderator with the responsibility of deciding what is appropriate for this board? Seems to be some confusion on that. Might be mostly on your part, though.
"Government too would love to implant one of these into the bodies of all citizens and legally resident." @Maurice: You bet they would, and both major parties too, although perhaps for some differing reasons.
"Do they read privacy statements?" What difference does it make? 1) many of those companies would do whatever they wanted in a heartbeat, if they thought that it would make them an extra dime. 2) If you want to do a lot of things these days, the internet is REQUIRED. 3) If you use the internet at all, forget "privacy": it does not exist.
"your ilk" Are "ilks" the "in" thing these days? Have I missed yet another grammatical revolution?
@Mautice, I was surprised that several computer and cell phone items I bought from Best Buy have RFID tags inside the box. They are being used much more frequently today as the cost has came down considerably.
At work we have one too many passwords to remember, ~ 30 of them. An embedded chip can automatically identified myself and replace all those passwords. At the corporate level we are not equipped with at least three degrees fingerprint authentication such as those used in iPhones. one day this willl be a common practice.
It is not that differs then having your location function turn on on your cell phones. You location with respect to time are being recorded by your phone carrier.
@Maurice- Hi- no, not at all. It's just one of those words that you don't see used very often, and all of a sudden it pops up from a couple of directions. I hope that you and your ilk are enjoying the DC spectacle!
