Well, it was almost too good to be true. The new Nike+ iPod exercise monitoring device that interfaces with the newer iPods has a major flaw, many online sites and news networks are reporting. According to University of Washington researchers, there is a security flaw in the new RFID-powered device from Nike and Apple that make it easy for tech-savvy stalkers, thieves and corporations to track user movements. While this may sound very-Big Brotherish, and somewhat remote at the same time, it is nice to be informed of this apparent weakness. So far there have been no comments from either Nike nor Apple. It will be nice to see what their spin on this is. Stay tuned, I am sure there will be more to follow.
