Kindly Be Aware. . .

I am sitting in my room at the St. Francis on Powell Street in San Francisco. The minibar has this very strange sign posted prominently. Does it mean that each item--chips, alcohol, sodas, candy bars, etc. is wired? Do they all have a little magnetic or radio tag attached?

If I pick up, say, that bottle of red wine and look at it for 12 seconds, does it automatically get charged to my room? This is a new one on me. . .

She goes into both the successes and limitations of technology in and around the Inauguration. Jump here to read the story on Nerdabout.
