Learn to Love Big Brother

February 12, 2006 by DarthCthulhu

A Cincinnati video surveillance company is requiring its employees to get an impanted RFID tag under their skin if they want to utilize the company’s datacenter. For those who don’t know, RFID tags are tiny, rice-sized microchips which contain specific information which can then be read from a few inches away by a radio transciever.

February 12, 2006 by DarthCthulhu

New from Japan! A robot that transforms from a four wheeled vehicle to a bipedal robot and back! All it needs now is to be increased in size by several tons and make the classic Transformer noise! More than meets the eye!
