...battery's thinness. rfid tags are the tiny chips that are replacing bar codes. They wirelessly transmit information about themselves, making it easier to track, say, what's in stock in a store. Battery-powered rfid tags can transmit farther than non-battery-powered versions and push rfid signals through liquid and aluminum cans - two common signal stoppers in supermarkets. The market potential is in the billions if rfid technology expands as predicted...

Now it wants Iraq not to be a "civil war"--ironically, on the ground that...
