A Danish vendor said Thursday that it has developed a system to create Bluetooth-enabled cows. Blip Systems said in a statement that it has developed a Bluetooth-mesh system in which sensors are placed on cows. That enables farmers to monitor the location and health of each animal, the company said in a statement."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/9388517863995941.jpg" /> <br /><br />I wonder if any thought has gone into being able to use my phone to wirelessly milk that thing! :P Remember folks, this is STRICTLY a niche device and not meant for the general public! ;) Have a great weekend, everyone!

So if brown cows make chocolate milk, blue(tooth) cows make... 8O ;)

[ctmagnus]

Blueberry milk!

What kind of cow makes Blackberry milk? ;)

[Darius Wey]

I was never a fan of Blue cheese. :mrgreen:

[thanos255]

I wonder how you reboot the cow if you get a bluetooth stack error?!?!?!?

I would NOT want to find the reset button on that sucker!

This is what happens when you have a country based on farming and then has become one of the leading countries in IT.
This is a truly case of W?BIC

I'm know officially proud of my country :D

i wonder if anybody is REALY taking advantage of this techology.

and the other question is how do you charge the device, or replace the batteries???

Thats easy, you have a natural source: methane gas.
It will be the first time you see a cow with exhaust pipe...

This may sound kind of funny, but where we may really see PPC's come into play in the cattle industry is with Source Verification (proving when &amp; where the calf is born). The calf is electronically tagged or implanted when born, &amp; then scanned with GPS verification into the PPC.

Never thought about the alien mutiliation thing 0X, but that is a thought.

It's actually to track any BHE (MAD COW) cases, prove the age of the animal, etc. Many countries are strongly requesting it to continue importing US beef.

RFID would be a much better choice! Not Bluetooth! Don't you think?

I agree. What's the range of RFID tags though?

So does the blips on the screen turn red when the cow goes mad?

Oh god they've gone from Bluetooth cows to RedTooth mad cows?!?! The horror! :D
