Comment HBA Leads the way? (Score 1) 287

I think it is worth noting that the HBA (Health & Beauty Aids) industry seems to be the most cutting-edge when it comes to inventory tech in the retail market. I can't think of any other type of products in a grocery store that have 2D barcodes, and now they will be adding RFID to their cases and pallets? Amazing! One would think that things like this would find their way into high-end expensive products first, but fact is stranger than fiction...

I expected this reponse, of course, but you are missing something..like the point of the site. If the Net and the Web can be used to communicate content like books apart from entities like big publishes, big media (big software manufacturers), that's very newsworthy. I want other people who create content to understand how this could work.So I think you are missing something. There are many better venues to promote a dog book than on Slashdot, but I really feel strongly that writers, artists, individuals, etc. should understand that mailing lists, blogs, etc. are a huge opportunity to bypass the big company/big media marketing systems. To me, that's a big OS idea, the reason I came to write for the site in the first. It's essential that this message get out, I think,as so many music writers, book writers, etc., are not able to deal with big marketing realities.
