I think RFID is a great technology with many positive uses. Unfortunately There are a lot of ways this technology can be misused and abused. Think about this. All the products you buy have RFID tags, all someone or some agency has to do is drive by your house with a scanner and they will know everything you have in your house. It's all part of building a control grid. These chips are also going into the stickers that go on your license plates. That way they will be able to track your movement, which, in some ways isn't that beig of a deal. What scares me is that if they can track where you are, it makes it possible to set limits of where you are allowed to travel. All of the sudden everything changes. Just something to think about.

"I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I want a 13-incher. I need something with a great keyboard for typing, as this will mostly be used for note taking in class. I am absolutely smitten with the XPS 13, but I'm afraid that with its age Dell is going to give it an update soon. Any advice for someone in my shoes?"
