RE: more and more in the newsAn ok article, BUT the writer is a technical moron. Look at this paragraph:
Like a smart card compared to a credit card, the small chips that emit radio waves are better than bar codes; their sound waves can be scanned through a carton, so the entire inventory can be scanned in the same 40 seconds it takes to scan a single bar-coded item, and the chip itself can be both written to and read.
a radio wave is not a sound wave, and if it took 40 seconds to read a bar code you'd be all day at the check buying your groceries ..who proof reads this crappola ?
