第一天RSA 09：侦察任务

是我还是贸易展览需要改变？我在旧金山的RSA 2009，刚从小地板步行回来。现在，我喜欢RSA格式：一堆良好的培训，然后是一个供应商区域来获得免费赠品。在地板上，人们正在争先恐后地设置各个地方。Kinda就像一堆网络Carnies组装摊位，游戏和其他东西可以吸引您，以便供应商可以抓住市场营销理由的金色戒指：徽章滑动。滑动显示了中高级管理的人流，以制作无尽的条形/饼图，以插入无尽的PowerPoint演示文稿中。我只能说，在会议室中为802.11g的802.11克度过。当然，如果有任何价值，我的第一个想法是我如何入侵它以获得尽可能少的工作价值。RSA徽章本身是没有条形码的信用卡大小。在光线下，它看起来像两层卡，所以我的猜测是它的低功率（13MHz）被动RFID。我需要仔细研究读者。 A quick check of my bag inventory shows me a have my RF-DUMP interactor with me...imagine that...More on that on The Day Two Blog. As for my observation from the show floor, I would say no new surprise visual. Booth Babes practicing handing out flyers, Actors running lines, A Whack a Mole game(I know) and the prerequisite car on the show floor. This year it is a non descript red Smart car! Come on man! how about the ZZTop '32 Three Window Coupe now that'll generate some massive badge swipes right there! The good news is, I am seeing a bunch more vendors laying out the coveted booth T-Shirt!! Man alive I am glad for that! Last booth tshirt I had said something like; "Broadwing and MCI, Internet You Can Trust" That is something vendors never really understood. Geeks go to conferences for training and t-shirts. T-shirts are kinda like liberty cuffs and tattoos are to a sailor. They are an outward expression of our travels. We geeks know that vendors have marketing goobers manning the booths so it is rare to get technical with anyone there other then a what's on a datasheet. That's cool man! toss us a t-shirt and we'll listen to the presentation and we'll be a walking billboard for ya, PLUS you get all the powerpoint generating badge swipes for many future meeting and conf calls to come! Nice trade right? I'll post my Day Two update tomorrow. If you at RSA come by and say hey! I love to meet ya!! I'll be aggravating folks in the Cisco booth to start a fight with the folks in the Juniper booth! Booth Wars?? Maybe another way to generate badge swipes....

By taking voice sound waves and converting them to low freq radio waves. The actual RFID tag came in 1973.
