creative-triangulation-for-mobile-payment-systems

Now, this is interesting. A mobile payment system that supports an existing paper-based system. (more from Daniel today, he's on fire ;). Most ticketing systems now support UPC code reading for tickets purchased and printed at home. Now you can buy your tickets on your cell phone and have the UPC scanned from your phone.culture-of-fear

When you're afraid all the time, inter-company promotional faxes that include a picture of match being lit combined with the coincidental delivery of package are enough to create a bomb scare. Hopefully, this is limited to Massachusetts, but I have my doubts.

Seriously. And I'm not just mindlessly following the advice of Mojo Nixon. I'm saying it based on the fact:
- Pentagon report warns Canadian coins bugged
- And nobody would buy such a half-hearted, anonymous denial: “We have no evidence to indicate anything connected with these coins poses a risk or danger.” Yeah, to us tracking you.
- An ongoing research project into the detection of illicit drug use has shown that of a sample of bank notes in current circulation in the greater Dublin area - €5, €10, €20 and €50 denominations - 100% of them showed contamination with cocaine. Though perhaps on this one they should double check the researchers hands. And noses.

From Yahoo::
In a U.S. government warning high on the creepiness scale, the Defense Department cautioned its American contractors over what it described as a new espionage threat: Canadian coins with tiny radio frequency transmitters hidden inside.It is very strange. The article points out what a poor mechanism it is for tracking: short distance only, likely to be used to buy something, etc. I would think they must have been looking for a very limited amount of information. The location of a safe house, for example. While the distance is limited, you could compensate for that with an 'rfid rifle'.

on their acquisition by HP and to me, since I was an early angel investor in SPI - so long ago I cannot remember what year it was. Their application to the ATDC had just been rejected as they were viewed as 'unreceptive to coaching', IIRC. I was an entrepreneur-in-residence at ATDC at the time, so it must have late 2000. For what it's worth, they were indeed unreceptive to coaching, except from Brian Cohen who has done a great job as CEO.
