IBM begins testing supercharged barcodes
#1
Radio tags, supercharged versions of the barcode.

Has anyone been keeping up with the push for these things? Wal-Mart is one of the biggest retailers pushing for them. It's suppose to be helpful for inventory and all that other good shit.

Personally, I'm not too crazy about the idea of a "Super Barcode". I'm sure it will be a huge money/time saver for inventory purposes.

However, there have been NO guarantee that the store is going to disable them once an item is purchased. Also, they're suppose to be placed into Drivers Licenses, Credit Cards and other forms of ID.

Can you say 1984 twenty years later.
