Check out the Wall Street Journal's latest scoop on RFID usage titled, "Wal-Mart Radio Tags to Track Clothing"
Looks as though we're on the brink of drive-by inventory control here.
And I quote, "We are going to see contactless checkouts with mobile phones or kiosks, and we will see new ways to interact, such as being able to find out whether other sizes and colors are available while trying something on in a dressing room," said Bill Hardgrave, head of the RFID Research Center at the University of Arkansas, which is funded in part by Wal-Mart. "That is where the magic is going to happen. But that's all years away."

I like how the article uses good ole subliminal techniques, making sure to use "smart" tag or "smart" label or "smart id" 4 times on one page. Seems like a smart choice. Wal-Mart must be smart. Like me. I like to think I'm smart. Maybe they ought to call them "moron tags" since the new system will allow Wal-Mart to hire less costly morons to handle inventory control.
Newspeak put to good use
