RFID Robots, RFID Firewall, RFIDImaging all coming shortly.

Our engineers have been working with some powerful solutions using RFID but there are many logistic and range problems still to consider. When you bring time into the equation you get some very useful technologies.

This is just too much. I will not go there and not spend a dime on anything that will go to China's coffers.

The Olympic Committee should have never allowed China to hold the event.

Why? If you have seen the News recently, not just on Television, China has a superior military and are going through very tight security demonstrations. Also, to remain in this dumb war, we borrow nearly 3billion dollars from china every day. Of cource those are not repetitive payments but more like annual payments every half year or so. We borrowed about $350 billion from them and $644billion from Japan.. They don't care about your money, they are going to use this "I.O.U." for later..

My Gawd! How small and close minded people seem to be!

I am personally very impressed that the Chinese are using RFID in there Olypic logistics, and wish them the best Olympics ever. I wish I could be there!

Close minded people, most likely do not see sports for sports....and technology for technology....really, anything else is fodder, and should be in another forum.

1D10T!

My Gawd! I love that technology is advancing more than the humans posting here.

Sports for Sports, technology for techology, anything else.....maybe a different twisted forum.

Wishing Beijing the best Olympics Ever!
