Tech: Tagging, Hacking the Tags, and Jogging Bots

So it seems a company has started tagging its employees.

Seems a bit of a double edged sword but that edge is likely sharper for the paranoid. Me, I don't like the idea of sticking stuff into my body. I can't even bring myself to wear contact lenses...

Still, some people are enthusiastic enough to try it at home. O_o

So... with any security system, there's going to be some way to hack it.

Definitely going to need to work on encryption. This might be a neat gadget to fool around with but not by me. I've got too many little projects I need to finish so I can get around to starting other projects I need to get around to finishing. ;)

Jogging robots. Not a news article but a nice series of tech demos anyway. It won't be long before there's a killbot in every household and you'll be yelling at it to stop attacking the mailman and chasing cars.
