They'd rather consumers buy their terrible batteries that need to replaced every year or less, instead of allowing 3rd parties from making better batteries that are cheaper and longer lasting, up to 4 to 5 years.  This has nothing to do with yours and mine security and well being.  Sony and Kodak are the only brands I know of that don't have other 3rd party batteries to choose from, but at least Sony batteries are usually designed well.<br><br>This is coming from the same company who can't even put a wall charger in their box unlike all other brands, it's sold separately.  Kodak continues to prove how poor of a camera company they have become.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Daniel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 9th 2008 1:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Kodak to use anti-counterfeiting measures on camera batteries]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/kodak-to-use-anti-counterfeiting-measures-on-camera-batteries/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/kodak-to-use-anti-counterfeiting-measures-on-camera-batteries/</guid><description><![CDATA[Sony batteries designed well?

This isn't meant to prevent counterfeit batteries, rather it's meant to help Kodak avoid being sued.<br><br>I wonder what will happen the first time this technology is challenged in court. Will Kodak release the technique and, as a result, win that case but lose their IP? Police radar manufacturers won't release their software in court, so a number of speeding violators have gotten off.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ohng]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 9th 2008 1:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Kodak to use anti-counterfeiting measures on camera batteries]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/kodak-to-use-anti-counterfeiting-measures-on-camera-batteries/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/kodak-to-use-anti-counterfeiting-measures-on-camera-batteries/</guid><description><![CDATA[How can this protect consumers if it "can only be detected by handheld Kodak readers"]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Spyvie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 9th 2008 1:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Kodak to use anti-counterfeiting measures on camera batteries]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/kodak-to-use-anti-counterfeiting-measures-on-camera-batteries/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/kodak-to-use-anti-counterfeiting-measures-on-camera-batteries/</guid><description><![CDATA[good point]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[silverblackvoid]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 9th 2008 1:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Kodak to use anti-counterfeiting measures on camera batteries]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/kodak-to-use-anti-counterfeiting-measures-on-camera-batteries/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/kodak-to-use-anti-counterfeiting-measures-on-camera-batteries/</guid><description><![CDATA[Kodak is NOT trying to prevent people from using other batteries, only batteries that are labeled as Kodak that are not ACTUALLY Kodak batteries...for counterfeiters, not other battery manufacturers.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Matt]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 9th 2008 2:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Kodak to use anti-counterfeiting measures on camera batteries]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/kodak-to-use-anti-counterfeiting-measures-on-camera-batteries/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/kodak-to-use-anti-counterfeiting-measures-on-camera-batteries/</guid><description><![CDATA[ I ACTUALLY agree with YOU.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[SteveMB]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 9th 2008 4:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Kodak to use anti-counterfeiting measures on camera batteries]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/kodak-to-use-anti-counterfeiting-measures-on-camera-batteries/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/09/kodak-to-use-anti-counterfeiting-measures-on-camera-batteries/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm actually OK with this. Interoperable third party products are good and any attempt to lock them out is seriously not OK(Lexmark's DMCA attempt, chipped ink cartridges, etc.). Counterfeit products are bad, though. If you don't want to buy Kodak, you should have the option to buy something else; but if you buy and pay for Kodak, you should get Kodak. <br><br>As long as this tracer material ensures truth in labelling, I'm all for it. If Kodak cameras start scanning every battery you put in, and rejecting anything they don't like, then the idea can rot in hell.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Phisrow]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 9th 2008 3:14PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
