Personal RFID?

You wake up in the morning, grab a cup of coffee, and sit down at your computer. You place your coffee cup on what appears to be a cup warmer and you’re immediately taken on a trip trough the information super highway to your favorite feeds and news sites, where your favorite new feeds are read to you as soon as you sit down. Has the future finally come?

Not really, meet Mir:ror a consumer RFID reader by Violet. Mir: ror allows you to attach Zamp:s (Violet’s RFID stickers) to anything. Mir:ror also reads all RFID tags so you can explore the things you already have that are RFID. With this you can program any of your favorite sites or programs to active through the Violet site. Could this bridge the gap for a new breed of hackers?

If you’re like me and you’re into cool, quirky, possibly hackable gadgets then the Mir:ror by violet might be something you might want to get your hands on. I love things like this my whole life I’ve looked for tech that sets me apart from the average person… well it usually finds me. But an RFID reader like this that’s fully customizable is something I need to get my hands on and probably will. Even though it’s not available to the US right not. This is one of those things you just know is going to hit Think Geek even though they already have a RFID reader. This one is a little cheaper and come with some net based software. What more could a hacker ask for? If you want to learn more about Mir:ror by checking out the Violet site in the link below.

That's incredible! Is this actually available to purchase?

RFID... I don't trust it. It's too close to the "Mark of the Beast" IMO. They use it on farm animals to monitor their every move. I just hope humans are not next.

yes this is available now, the only place you can find it is Dynamism. This is one of the best sites for things that are not readily available in the US. but if you want to wait till it is it will be out later this year for us here in the US.
