The Brother RL-700S RFID Printer: You Can Become Big Brother!
Akihabara News' Daimaou reports on the arrival of the Brother RL-700S printer, which allows you to print plastic cards that include an RFID chip.
"Now all you need is to set it up all over your house and you'll finally know who the hell is opening the fridge to drink beers at 2am," Daimaou writes.
Or as Gearfuse's Andrew Dobrow puts it, "With an rfid printer the sky is the limit for monitoring activity at your home or business. Pissed that someone at your house ate the last cookie? Just check who the last person was who logged their RFID card on the cookie jar. Totally own the cookie thief!"
Sci Fi Tech's Adam Frucci has his own suggestion: "You could hide a tag under the soles of your kid's sneaker and then set up a sensor at the front door," he writes. "Every time he came home, you'd have a record. That way, if he claims he came home before curfew but you know he missed it my 10 minutes, you've got the evidence to dole out the appropriate punishment. Now that's parenting!"
As RemoveTheLabels' Andrew Liszewski notes, "If the whole RFID concept has you a bit concerned, this isn't going to alleviate your fears."
