"Imagine going for a walk and carrying a wireless device that talks to you - telling you about what's on the menu at the restaurants you pass, explaining the history of a statue on the corner, or letting you know that a public bathroom or bus stop is nearby."

Interesting, now they just need to change the word 'tag' to 'node' and we are well on our way to craptons of spam on the way to the grocery store!

heh, i wonder if any of the students play sr in their spare time.
