RFID tags on your watch

As I see on Engadget, they think of placing rfid tags on watches. It is wise. But, even in work safety, they made fall protection harnesses with rfid tags... I wonder where this will go....

Looking to simultaneously trick your employees into thinking you love them and keep better tabs on their whereabouts? If so, you should definitely look into handing out Winwatch-approved timepieces as "performance incentives," which should be sporting an oh-so-telling RFID tag in the near future. The Switzerland-based outfit has just announced plans to patent an RFID-enabled crystal gasket that would be placed in luxury wristwatches, and while they're pushing it as a way for companies to weed out counterfeit products, we're sure the privacy advocates in attendance can think of far darker applications. Samples are slated to start shipping out later this autumn, which means your window to snag a non-voyeuristic watch is hastily closing.

Google CEO Eric Schmidt On The Future Of Search: “Connect It Straight To Your Brain”

Here is an interesting interview by Michael Arrington with Google CEO Eric Schmidt on Techcrunch. Some good comments about search and future of search:

Early in the interview I asked Schmidt about the future of search. I brought up the “search is 90% done” misunderstanding from last summer. Said Google Vice President Marissa Mayer at the time:
Search is a science that will develop and advance over hundreds of years. Think of it like biology and physics in the 1500s or 1600s: it’s a new science where we make big and exciting breakthroughs all the time. However, it could be a hundred years or more before we have microscopes and an understanding of the proverbial molecules and atoms of search. Just like biology and physics several hundred years ago, the biggest advances are yet to come. That’s what makes the field of Internet search so exciting.



He then took a detour and shared a (non-serious) approach that cofounder Sergey Brin has talked about internally - direct brain implants:
Now, Sergey argues that the correct thing to do is to just connect it straight to your brain. In other words, you know, wire it into your head. And so we joke about this and said, we have not quite figured out what that problem looks like…But that would solve the problem. In other words, if we just - if you had the thought and we knew what you meant, we could run it and we could run it in parallel.


When I (again, jokingly) asked if Google was working on that product, he answered “Well, I wish we were. But we don’t exactly have all the medical clinics necessary to test brain insertion.”

3G arrives in Turkey.. Please see post "what is 3G?"

When I wrote about 3G in 2007; it still looked long that it would start in Turkey.. Eventually it is working now.. All to do is having a mobile that supports it.. Then operators contact you by SMS.. Also Turkcell and Wodafone web sites offer helpful explanations...

Lastly, remember to read my post in 2007 :)))
