 From USA today Wal-Mart plan to use smart tags raises privacy concerns By Anne D'Innocenzio, Associated Press NEW YORK — Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) is putting electronic identification tags on men's clothing like jeans starting Aug. 1 as the world's largest retailer tries to gain more control of its inventory. But the move is raising eyebrows among privacy experts. The individual garments, which also includes underwear and socks, will have removable smart tags that can be read from a distance by Wal-Mart workers with scanners. In seconds, the worker will be able to know what sizes are missing and will also be able tell what it has on hand in the stock room. Such instant knowledge will allow store clerks to have the right sizes on hand when shoppers need them. The tags work by reflecting a weak radio signal to identify the product. They have long spurred privacy fears as well as visions of stores being able to scan an entire shopping cart of items at one time. Wal-Mart's goal is to eventually expand the tags to other types of merchandise but company officials say it's too early to give estimates on how long that will take. "There are so many significant benefits in knowing how to better manage inventory and better serve customers," said Lorenzo Lopez, a Wal-Mart spokesman. "This will enhance the shopping experience and help us grow our business." Before the rollout, Wal-Mart and other stores were using the tags, called radio frequency identification tags, only to track pallets or cases of merchandise in their warehouses. But now the tags are jumping onto individual items, a move that some privacy experts describe as frightening. Wal-Mart, which generated annual revenue of a little more than $400 billion in its latest fiscal year and operates almost 4,000 stores, has huge influence with suppliers. That makes other merchants tend to follow its lead. READ MORE Big brother to log your every bowel movement 03/26/2010

Beautiful People Dating Website Kicks Out Fat People for Weight Gain 2010 By Cathy Beers Jan 9, 2010 A "Beautiful People" dating website has kicked out what they consider fat people that have gained too much weight for 2010. The irony is delicious, people that consider themselves beautiful can't find a date, so they join an online dating service to take the time boot the "fat people" out of their little computer dating pool. Who Would the Beautiful People.Com Website Boot? The dating site founder is quoted by CNN: "Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model." According to CNN the website "describes itself as an "elite online club, where every member works the door" -- that is, users can join only after enough members vote them "beautiful" during the 48 hours after their profile is uploaded."

Whats even better is that the owner of the company who makes these drinks is an outspoken homophobe. Yippie!!! So for the sake of dignifying the rights of any individual on this planet to do whatever the fuck they please on thier own time so much as it doesnt infringe on the rights of others, fadsmashers is saying fuck rockstar, their heart attack inducing product and their 4th Reich values.
