Quote of the Week
"Back then, we were excited with an order for 50 or 60 readers, or 3 to 4 million tags. But a couple of months ago, we took two orders that totaled 2,000 readers, and we've gotten orders for many millions of tags from single customers. People are starting to implement RFID, rather than talking about it."
—George Everhart, CEO of Alien Technology, discussing the company's recent completion of a $38 million round of venture funding
