i stopped right there.
as someone that has been writing software for almost 30 years, i can emphatically say without hesitation
oh hell no!
The Book of Revelation says this very thing will occur. All will be numbered. You will not be able to buy or sell without it.

HELL NO.

An interesting article, to be sure.
The technology is already here. The question remains as to whether it will remain optional, for convenience or mandatory for “security”, with potential abuses either way.
Presumably, someone will come out with an rfid detector, if only to verify you didn’t loose your tag.
I’m curious how useful these hair-like tags will be for security if mounted on the outside of your body (or even inside if not very deep). With it being as small as it is, you couldn’t tell if you lost it. What if someone removes it and transfers it to themselves, thus assuming your identity even more easily than cracking a password?
I would like to see a hacker break my password, typing into my computer. OH, the test was done internaly to the computer you say, so that they could use a server cluster to crack the password?
Then how, pray tell will a skin chip keep them from doing that behind the entry device? Nothing changed but the entry method. The data behind the keyboard will be just a secure.
Foolish lies, to scare the unwary into slavery.
uh, nope. This is total control, even of the mind. Being dead would be better.
Mark of the devil.
The hackers also managed to crack 16-character passwords including ‘qeadzcwrsfxv1331′.
Drat. Now I have to create a new password!
The biggest problem with passwords are that people are stupid, and don't know how to make good ones. The 2nd biggest IMO is the policies that surround passwords in most larger organizations. In corporations, they generally change too often, if they are changed at all for people to use genuinely strong password, or you are forced to enter it too many times to make use of a reasonably strong password practical. For instance, where I'm at, we have multiple password change cycles. I generally keep all my passwords the same, so I'm stuck with the shortest cycle of 60 days. Rather than using a truly strong password, like I use on my encryption keys, I have to limit myself to 10 characters or so because you have to enter the damn password so many times a day (corporate websites timeout on you after 15 minutes of inactivity), and I have to use rules to remember them that I wouldn't otherwise use, and they also have to be easy to type quickly. So, their own policies force me to use weaker passwords than I otherwise would. Typical stupidity you find in any large organization regardless if it is government or corporate.
