RFID Privacy Being Ignored

ACM News Service: RFID Rights.  It is being observed that those deploying RFIDs are flagrantly ignoring consumer privacy issues and not even applying the provisions that they used as reassurance about keeping the technology benign.

It's all pretty funny.

Listening to:

Meat Loaf VH1 Storytellers DVD Special, Viacom: New York, 1999.  I watched too, luxuriating in the 19" LCD monitor that I replaced my 21" glass monitor with.  I only knew Meat Loaf from the MTV videos and was surprised to learn that this fellow is from the musical stage.

Watching:

Billy Joel and Ray Charles Baby Grand, Billy Joel Greatest Hits Volume III The Video, DVD edition, Sony Music, 1997.  We saw Ray on Friday night and I had to play this duet version.  After the film, the lyrics and the context of Baby Grand are poignant and touching.  Listen carefully.
