Kindles and remote-kills
Gadget Makers Can Find Thief, but Don’t Ask- NYTimes.com
Mr. Borgese, who once ran a software company, says gadget makers in the United States have high-tech solutions to this high-tech problem. Amazon, he said, simply needs another step in the registration process for secondhand Kindles. Before a resold device could function, an e-mail message would be sent to the original owner, saying, in effect, “Click here to acknowledge that you’ve sold your Kindle.”
I really don’t agree with this idea. Seems as screwed up as BIS – makes a seamless second-hand purchase much much more troublesome.
