I just dug this old topic up as I was looking around to find the hardware required to make this work. "ACG Multi-Tag Reader" but I want to make sure I ghet the right thing. Has anyone tried this or even gone so far as to get the hardware? And if so, any chance of bringing it to phreaknic?

Unfortunately, this is not the first time that this type of thing has happened with Kevin Rose. I have had similar things happen to my work with Kevin Rose and got NO MENTION whatsoever. I have also PERSONALLY seen this happen to at least 2 other people that I know very well and they also got no recognition. And all of us have taken the high road and simply been happy for the recognition but the high road is starting to get crowded.

If it were a one-time incident, then it would be another thing entirely. Unfortunately, he is consistant in his lack of acknowledgement. But if you insist I look at the bright side, I guess I should give him points for consistancy. :-/

At least he mentioned stripesnoop, even though he gave NO CREDIT whatsoever to Acidus for all of his work. Kevin Rose consistantly does this and it is just rude. I am glad to see more publicity for this great project, but was it really so hard to mention a name to give a little credit?

As a bonus to look forward too, Kevin Rose gets a lot of his material from Binary Revolution Radio (total coincidence, I am sure), so maybe we will be seeing memestreams on an upcoming show?

I don't know if this qualifies, but I thought if it as I was reading. It is a clear spray that you can put over your license plate that prevents cameras from being able to capture it on film. I found it interesting.
