Cool, I guess.]]>May 20th 2008 1:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/May 20th 2008 1:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/If you can still lose the thing, it's not the Mark of the Beast yet.

..so how much are these things going to cost?]]>May 20th 2008 1:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/The next thing they think of will be how to make you work 8 hours daily without thinking about anything than your "happy life", stop caring about elections, stop thinking in general, just let governments do everything for you.

That process will simply eliminate any kind of "intellectual elite of society" (which is good for governments - don't think, just re-elect the same people year after year, election after election). But that process will also eliminate any thinking highly motivated people as well, leading to nation degradation in general.

Say, did you even understand what I just wrote? :)]]>May 20th 2008 2:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/May 20th 2008 2:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/May 20th 2008 2:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/
@Jayden: I agree. It's one thing for the technology to exist, but it's another to implement it just for the sake of doing so. This appears to be a case of implementing something for the sake of doing so, as electronic copies of digital things is probably far easier to do than creating a physical copy of secure documents such as a passport. Also, an OLED passport doesn't appear to offer any advantage when your passport is stolen.]]>May 20th 2008 2:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/May 20th 2008 2:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/May 20th 2008 2:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/

A personal branding ego trip, porno, wife, kids, ...

What cost?

Aren't there more important things in life than collecting every humanly possible bit of information on citizens.

I am sure those involved in identity theft welcome the increasingly easier way to locate a single source of information. After all, it's available at no cost to themselves and paid for by governments with their ever invasive unquenchable demands for personal information.

As if my passport didn't cost enough already, now you are sticking OLED displays in them. My plane tickets will be cheaper than my passport soon.]]>May 20th 2008 6:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/May 20th 2008 8:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/
Plus, it will try to solve the problem of counterfeit passports, which like all counterfeit documents are becoming a huge problem for the authorities. You have to remember because of Schengen, someone can travel from Finland to Portugal and from Iceland to Greece, without even a look in ID documents on the border.

//My plane tickets will be cheaper than my passport soon. //

A British passport costs £72 (€95), an Irish passport costs €75 and a French on costs €60, and a plane ticket to Spain or France costs about €50.]]>May 20th 2008 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/samsung-demonstrates-e-passport-with-flexible-oled-display/Either way I hate them already.
