But Home Depot does, and they have self-checkout.
That may be one reason why I don't go there... :-D
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

Few days back, I read about RFID applications, but very common like human tracking, inventory management etc. Just wondering what can be done with this technology which is really exciting and newer.
Hi WajihAhmed, I think they could be quite useful at home: for example, helping you know the name of the person you awoke sleeping next to, without the embarrassment of having to actually ask them. Or, helping you remember your own name, when you wake up in a place you believe you've never been in before. yrs, Bill

We live in an enormous novel. For a writer it's less necessary to invent a novel's fictional content: fiction's already there. A writer's task is to invent a reality." J. G. Ballard, 1974

I hate RFID tags. Or maybe it's just the people who haven't got a clue how to use them.

"Newer" than what? Why? I somehow doubt that you'll "find" a new killer-app in the Lounge.

It's a matter of cost - printing a bar code on every product costs next to nothing, RFID devices are a lot more expensive, even in bulk. And don't forget that they would have to be implanted in the packaging for everything: even a 33p sweetie would need it's own chip. Until the price drops to less than 1p each, you won't see them embedded in all consumer units. Some UK traded units do (or did - I'm a little out of touch with the industry these days) have RFID tags - notably the re-usable fresh produce trays in supermarkets because the cost can be amortised over the life of the tray, rather than each product.

Thank God I'll no longer have to write all this down on my arms. Honestly, the cost in Biro's is crippling me.

You need some excitement? I was thinking of planting them in Grizzly Bears to track there movement but need someone to plant them on the bear. :) How fast can you run?

One problem is that the price of receiver installation is relatively steep, so it only makes sense when you have lots of tags.
