The disposable computer

Cypak is trying to convince everyone that they've created a disposable computer made out of paperboard. It only has 32K of memory and as TechDirt says, all they've really done is "mount a chip on paper... and then called it a disposable computer. On the other hand, sounds more like a fancified RFID tag to us, but they do only cost a $1 in bulk. And by combining them with RFID tags there appears to be some interesting applications for integrating them with product packaging, like making it possible to keep track of every time a medicine tablet is removed from a container or to make sure that parcels aren't tampered with during shipping.
