CASPIAN - Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering

Interesting..... When the whole world moves towards smarter, pervasive computing technologies - we have a few that stand up against it. Will this be a "David vs Goliath" or "Unfortunate Racoon on highway vs Big Ass Humvy" ? - only time will tell.

The other day I was looking at a description of Intel's IrisNet (more on this later) - it was spooky when I read it - seems like Intel's out to place sensors all over the world that can track your every move. As if DARPA didn't have enough opposition for their LifeLog - a project that proposes to maintain an electronic log of everything a person does.

FTrain.com has a funny article on a future of sensing bots (from Google) flying around and indexing the physical world - the author perceives bots to be large enough to see, maybe he doesn't envision SmartDust or Paintable Computing technologies will 'fly' (pun kinda intended)
