A friend of mine might want one of those for her teenage daughter ...

[conspiracy]I tell you, they're just trying to normalize the whole we know where you are every minute thing and before you know it you'll be lining up to have one of these bastards injected into your adipose tissue. This is all part of that whole EZpass Onstar RFID thing[/reality]

Wolf - I want one for my teenage daughter.... but it's got to be equipped with a "shock" feature if I feel she's getting too far away.

Although sounds very interesting - all that technology working for you - ultimately it's a case of Ok, yes, interesting, but what does it actually do for me? The dog/pet still wanders, and all I know is that he has gone and where he has gone to. It's an 'after the horse has bolted' solution when you really want one that keeps the gate shut in the first place - and you have that already with the Invisible Fence products. We have had one of those both for current dog and the one he superseded and they work fine, are very reliable and don't cost a lot to buy initially or to maintain.

Sounds like another Sinclair C5 - amazing application of technology but delivers very little benefits over what's already available. Has to fail.....

He wouldn't notice it as long as he was erect.

That would complement the pet locator chip, which is an injectable RFID capsule the size of a grain of rice.

BTW, what is the range of those chips? I would imagine they would be helpful for individuals who are afraid of kidnappings overseas if they could be picked up at a longer range.
