blankfistsays...Top 15, here we come!
NordlichReitersays...Rfid is extremly weak. They can be cloned and ripped for us black hats out there.
They can be used against the manufactures for us white hats out there.

the site above has RFID, from there you have to chose which pill you take.
laurasays...geeze that lady at the end was trippin' on her pizza idea, huh?
Trancecoachsays...RFID needs to be MythBusted, if not aired on Discovery, then on youtube or elsewhere. This "chip" is a real concern.
Xaxsays...That really sucks. I can't wait for the day where TV stations and satellite/cable TV providers become extinct, and we can choose which shows we want to watch (streamed over the Internet obviously) by paying for them individually. No more advertisers to placate, no more government interference, etc. Okay, that last part about no government interference was just a joke.
curiousitysays...related post about RFID (easy reading of credit cards):

That lady at the end loves her pizza.
EDIT: ahh, this is the same video as NordlichReiter's link above.
jdbatessays...It's easily hackable, some students did it with a lap top and a reader then were able to clone the card, the security risk was if someone was then able to see you enter your pin. So if you have an rfid / smart card nevr use it with the pin!
jimnmssays...I wish I could upvote a second time for the booing of Smash Lab.
JAPRsays...God damn he's a cool guy.
SCIENCE RULES KIDS.
StukaFoxsays...Credit card companies are the second biggest enemy to America after al Qeada.
Spoon_Gougesays...If the different kinds of stones were some kind of myth, say, Unglazed ceramic tiles make much crappier pizzas than glazed ceramic stones, then, yeah, I could see an episode on it.
Huh?
choggiesays...Texas Instruments is effectively part of Raytheon, one of the biggest defense contractors, eh?? They keep the private sector storefront the same at some facilities, but it's the same machine....
gwiz665says...So... discovery sells their soul too?
MaxWildersays...Television channels have no souls. They are like any other corporation.
ponceleonsays...wow... did you see how the clip ends? That woman is a nutjob... clearly she doesn't understand that the point of mythbuster is to check out urban myths... why the fuh would they want to test pizza stones?
jimnmssays...Here's his full talk if you're interested in hearing about the pizza lady's questions. There's also a really funny part where he shows a slow mo of him busting his ass on a treadmill.
dannym3141says..."We'll get right on that pizza episode."
Zifnabsays...As I posted in the description, the full talk is also available here:
