Electric Cows
around lunchtime on Monday, the 7th of June 2004 by Chad
New Scientist reports on headgear for cows, that will take a PDA, GPS, and speaker, and create virtual “fences” for cows. The rancher will move the virtual fence around like a video game. Imagine if your cow server got hacked by someone who didn’t know what it was, and sent all your cattle over a cliff. Best part though, was this quote:
The group has tested a static version of the virtual fence on 10 cows in a field in Vermont that was one square kilometre in size. They have only tested the moving version on a group of students.
I would have loved to have seen this, a bunch of students walking around getting zapped. Bad fratboy, keep away from that keg!
