Rfid is extremly weak. They can be cloned and ripped for us black hats out there.

They can be used against the manufactures for us white hats out there.

RFID needs to be MythBusted, if not aired on Discovery, then on youtube or elsewhere. This "chip" is a real concern.

That really sucks. I can't wait for the day where TV stations and satellite/cable TV providers become extinct, and we can choose which shows we want to watch (streamed over the Internet obviously) by paying for them individually. No more advertisers to placate, no more government interference, etc. Okay, that last part about no government interference was just a joke.

It's easily hackable, some students did it with a lap top and a reader then were able to clone the card, the security risk was if someone was then able to see you enter your pin. So if you have an rfid / smart card nevr use it with the pin!

If the different kinds of stones were some kind of myth, say, Unglazed ceramic tiles make much crappier pizzas than glazed ceramic stones, then, yeah, I could see an episode on it.
Huh?

Texas Instruments is effectively part of Raytheon, one of the biggest defense contractors, eh?? They keep the private sector storefront the same at some facilities, but it's the same machine....

Here's his full talk if you're interested in hearing about the pizza lady's questions. There's also a really funny part where he shows a slow mo of him busting his ass on a treadmill.
