Just scaremongering (Score 1)

The author forgets to mention that the website of the research group, which you think might be somewhat relevant. I'm a student at Bath. I'm not connected with the research, but I have attended (highly secret) public seminars where they talk about their work, and it isn't evil or secret or somehow going to lead to the end of humanity as we know it. They are a group of computer scientists with vague, fluffy ideas about how they can understand people by logging bluetooth device interactions. The network of sensors is rubbish. I have a bluetooth phone which I have registered with the associated facebook application... In the few weeks I have been registered I have been spotted associating with two other bluetooth devices... neither of which I know the owner of. Although I'm commenting on Slashdot, I have believe it or not, associated with more than two people in the last 3 weeks!
