First of i want to say, the government isnt RFID tagging everyone to keep track of people, that is a ridiculus claim. RFID chips cant hold very much data and need to be fairly close to be scanned. (However your phone is a better target for stuff like that…)
Anyway, there might be reasons to want to check if things are marked with an RFID tag. Maybe on clothes you bought that set of alarms in stores, or check if a buscard is broken.. Either way here is an open source RFID sniffer, to check if there are any RFID chips nearby! (more…)
This new service called Worddesk lets you create a portable Windows installation that you can then save on just about any storage anywhere: USB stick, external hard drive, iPod, Blackberry, Android – yes, it is even possible to place Windows in the cloud via Dropbox. Which (if it works well) might give us something similar to Googles Chrome OS but with windows capabilities.
