JR does not know how to use twitter and FB according to some past posts but he is involved with this technology....I don't think so. Radio tags are extremely simply technology and I am still wondering about his patents on that, he must have made a simple change in the circuit so he could patent as a new product. As for the new push to automate store checkout I don't see JR involved in any way. If JR was involved he would have put out a dozen or more pr's on the topic and not via twitter\fb.
