Comments on StarChase Tracking Tag And Star Wars Homing Beacon
The Los Angeles police are taking a page from Obiwan Kenobi's book on how to chase suspects; hopefully, they will stay out of asteroid fields. (Read
the complete story)
| "“they have created a technology until now seen only in Star Wars”
Star Wars? Was the submitter of this story under 20 years old? A TTL like this has been used even on the old Adam West Batman TV Show not to mention comic books and super-spy novels that predate Lucas. How about a little fact checking prior to posting such uninformed claims. It’s bad enough when the Trekkies claim every modern invention was “created” by Rodenberry.
(To meet my criteria for this story, I needed not only a "tracking device" but also the element of being able to throw it and have it stick. I don't remember that from Batman - do you have a reference?)" (GeneSplicer 2/6/2006 6:06:40 AM) |
| "Yes, Batman has used the throw-and-stick trackers at LEAST since the late '80s -- but Spider Man was using them in the '60s." (Athelind 2/6/2006 5:24:16 PM) |
| "Okay, okay - the readers are right! Any other sources for throwable, sticky homing beacons? We might as well get them all..." (Bill Christensen 2/6/2006 7:28:39 PM) |
| ""We" don't claim that it was invented by Roddenberry, we claim that it was "Inwented in Wussia."" (Unabashed Trekker 2/7/2006 9:47:08 AM) |
| "this is only the just the tip of the ice berg we have not began to use the power of the 22nd and 23rd century technology i am truly ahppy that this is changing the way that we live on earth i am so happy for this chang in the world." (lamont bennett 2/7/2006 1:45:24 PM) |
| "spidey tracer
spider man tracer" (drn 2/7/2006 4:58:10 PM) |
| "In the "RoboCop" TV series (1994), everyone's gun had a digital display that would switch to 'TAG' if they wanted to fire a tracking pellet into a fleeing suspect.

| "cool!" ( 3/14/2006 4:41:29 PM) |
| "I want to contact starchase and show them some really big uses for their product." (mack 2/4/2008 6:09:16 PM) |
| "Not enough to well and truly knock out StarChase patent. What about Knight Rider, Star Gate, Battle Star Gallactica, V, Babylon 5, Future Cop?
I can't believe Police are going to have to pay royalties for this patent. Patent Office clearly needs help. See PeerToPatent. " (PatentlyObvious 8/9/2009 8:13:59 PM) |
