No Turn On Red

First off, I know I haven’t been around much the past week and I apologize for that. Some things had come up that have kept me busy and away from the interweb for the past few days. I’ll be able to explain more later, as some are personal and some are professional. But now I am back, or at least I believe I am.

I am a geek at heart and I am a child of technology. I am really fascinated by technology and, since I am heavily involved in the retail industry, I am very interested in how retailers are using technology to improve or change business. Businessweek has an article about uses of technology in the field of loss prevention (see: Attention, Shoplifters). From RFID to emerging video technologies, this article has a good low down on some of the behind the scenes technology that effects every customer, when they walk in, and out, of the doors.

I came across this link because of a posting on Slashdot, and you can read the comments there for some more discussion. Although, as normal with most articles on Slashdot, there is a high amount of garbage being posted, there are some good nuggets of information buried in there.
