Sony Patents DNA Tracking

[Just Another Gamer]

After reading this http://wololo.net/2012/09/23/sony-thinks-its-a-good-idea-to-track-your-dna-to-prevent-piracy/

I thought that this might be a bad idea if its used wrong.

All he's saying is useless jibberish about how he doesn't want his DNA on a "vulnerable" server. We've been arguing for six pages in this thread about how DNA is absolutely useless and in fact less useful than a password or credit card number which people store on servers without even a second though.

Also included is a rant on Ubisoft's DRM which Sony has never even touched with a ten foot pole.

I love wololo and such but this whole thing is a lot of useless fearmongering, trying to make Sony look like some Orwellian authoritarian figure.

If someone can find and link that photo of PS3 games being handcuffed to a Sony agent that makes sure you won't do anything bad I will give you a internet.

I guess is this one :

You sir have won your internet, yes that's the picture I was looking for.

Sony is wasting money on this.

Kinda sucks that almost every advancement into the future (technology) is almost always a double edged sword.

Fuck you Sony. And any other consumer product company that tries to employ this type of tech.
If this is the future, I'll go back to rotary phones, black & white crt tv, cassette tapes, vcrs and good old post mail instead of email.
The news of possibly using DNA as a storage device, now this? This crap may be closer than we think. As for me...no, no and hell no. Did I mention no?
"But it'll allow you to...."
I don't give a shit. NO.

I think DNA storage is much much better then this.

Overall?... I just didn't like this.
