Summary
IBM is betting on the market acceptance of RFID tags, and by and large, that's a good thing. I still don't see the privacy concern about these tags. On the other hand, IBM was precisely the corporation that helped automate the Nazi regime's "efficient" handling of Jewish prisoners, thanks to IBM punchcard machines. Is history repeating itself?

- - AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (Reuters) -- International Business Machines Corp opened a test center for radio tags in Nice, France on Thursday to keep up with fast growing interest from retailers, manufacturers and transport firms.
- "This is acknowledgment that the market is moving so fast that we need more resources," said Faye Holland, IBM's global chief of radio frequency identification, or RFID, business.
- Top retailers like U.S.-based Wal-Mart, Germany's Metro and Britain's Tesco have said they will use the chips that allow product information to be read automatically and wirelessly by readers built into cargo docks and cash tills or the doors of offices and buses.
