APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS HIRES DR. PETER ZHOU AS CHIEF SCIENTIST TO SPEARHEAD DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL ANGEL TECHNOLOGY

Company believes the implantable device will have applications in a variety of beneficial areas, including e-business security, health care and law enforcement

PALM BEACH, FLORIDA, JANUARY 7, 2000 -- Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSX) today announced the appointment, effective January 17, of Dr. Peter Y. Zhou, a noted scientist and holder of numerous patents in the field of electronic detection systems, as its new chief scientist in charge of developing the recently announced Digital Angel technology.

Dr. Zhou is currently serving as Vice President of Technology at Sentry Technology Corporation based in Hauppauge, New York. Prior to this, Dr. Zhou held the position of Vice President, Technology, at Knogo North America.

Dr. Zhou has also been an Adjunct Professor at State University of New York (Old Westbury). Earlier in his career, Dr. Zhou was a Research Investigator at the University of Pennsylvania, and a Research Scientist at Max-Planck Institute in Stuttgart, Germany. He holds a Ph.D. in Materials Science from the University of Pennsylvania and a Master of Science degree in Solid State Physics from Beijing University of Science and Technology.

"Dr. Zhou brings enormous expertise to ADS, and especially to our Digital Angel R&D effort," said Richard J. Sullivan, Chairman and CEO of ADS. "Given Dr. Zhou's track record of success in developing related technologies, we're very hopeful that he will be able to help us speed the development of this potentially life-saving technology," he further stated.

In his new position, Dr. Zhou will serve as Vice President and Chief Scientist at ADS and as President and Chief Scientist of ADS's wholly owned subsidiary, Digital Angel.net, Inc. Commenting on his new position, Dr. Zhou said: "I'm excited about this opportunity. I believe Digital Angel will have many useful commercial applications in the e-business arena, as well as many applications in the area of health and safety. This truly is a new technology for the new millennium."

ADS announced on December 15, 1999, that it had acquired the patent rights to a miniature digital transceiver - which it has named Digital Angel -- that can be used for a variety of purposes, such as providing a tamper-proof means of identification for enhanced e-business security, locating lost or missing individuals, monitoring livestock, tracking the location of valuable property and monitoring the medical conditions of at-risk patients.

Under the terms of its agreement acquiring the patent rights to Digital Angel, ADS has the right to develop the device itself for all of its applications or to sublicense the development of specific applications to other entities.

The implantable Digital Angel transceiver sends and receives data and can be continuously tracked by GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) technology. The transceiver's power supply and actuation system are unlike anything ever created. When implanted within a body, the device is powered electromechanically through the movement of muscles, and it can be activated either by the "wearer" or by the monitoring facility. A novel sensation feedback feature will even allow the wearer to control the device to some degree. The "smart" device is also small enough to be hidden inconspicuously on or within valuable personal belongings and priceless works of art.

ADS is actively seeking joint venture partners to help develop and market the unique technology. The company hopes to have a prototype of the Digital Angel device available for testing by the end of this year.

But I thought it was just to help missing children? heh

Once this becomes widespread, the first thing a kidnapper will do is carve out the child's chip with his Bowie knife. Muggers will be cutting folks open to get their chip. Count on it happening.

Chipless Kook

-- Y2Kook (Y2Kook@usa.net), February 06, 2000.

---there are no depths that business will not stoop to to make money, nor that some dot com "investors" will go to either. It's disgusting. What more can be said. The implications are truly worthy of that phrase "digital demon". This device will be abused to the maximum amount, unless public outcry stops it. Perhaps an E-avalanche to the representative from the district where these headquarters for this "company" is located might be an appropriate first step. Just because humankind CAN accomplish some piece of technology is no reason to follow through with the development. Lame "assurances" that this technology won't be abused are not enough, it needs to be banned from production, my opinion. Of course, I feel like that with several different technologies. If anything sparks massive civil disobedience or more, this is way up in the list. I think it's time for that arizona initiative, dissolve the current government, re-form under constitutional guidelines, and require a return to privacy and born- with rights. This device will be required to be implanted in various human beings soon as production starts, of that I have no doubt, and then it's only a matter of time before it's required universally, for some vague reason or another, all will be excuses for complete big brother control. Welcome to the United China States, where you are as free as long as you are useful and do not speakout against the State.

"digital demon"

heh

i really like that, hokie!

we should ALL start referring to it as such whenever speaking about it

if they want to implant these things....then maybe we should do a little implanting ourselves : )

-- mebs (andrea@mebs.lurking), February 06, 2000.

LOL all!

I've "heard" some SEaLS have them implanted already so their position and vital signs can be monitored during operations. I've read that they have a lithium battery, which concerns me cause if you remember high school chemistry then you know that if this battery were to rupture then it would create a "...grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image (Rv:16:2)."

Remarkable coincidence...

-- Hokie (Hokie_@hotmail.com), February 06, 2000.

Oh Zog, there are 4 patents, and sizes range from a grain of rice to a grain of sand. Because these chips store electrical activity sponged off your muscles, they are able to translate signals. That thread on mind control stuff kinda raises the issue of these chips being able to transmit signals which will effect the host's uh mind, go figure? Spookey stuff, FWIW.

-- Hokie (Hokie_@hotmail.com), February 06, 2000.

"translate" should be TRANSMIT.

-- Hokie (Hokie_@hotmail.com), February 06, 2000.

You will be assimilated.

-- justme (justme@myhouse.com), February 06, 2000.

Hokie,

Thanks for the post(s).

Just me,

Assimilated - your right!

Anyone notice how the 'powers-that-be' want us all hooked up to the net?

Quote from John Koskinen; "We have created a jugernaut" referring to the systems put in place prepping for Y2k. Well, at least that's what they told us anyway.

Anyone else see that quote by him or take note of it ?

BTW, will the .gov 'stand down' from alert status post February 29 ? The systems will still be there won't they.

Hokie,

Just stumbled on this story linked from WorldNetDaily

NPA calls for stricter checks for online IDs The agency wants tougher measures to battle the expected increase in Internet-related crimes.

Asahi Shimbun

February 5, 2000

The National Police Agency on Friday asked that mandatory identity checks be part of a digital-signature bill to curb Internet-related crimes and prevent hackers from wreaking havoc on Web sites.

The agency also asked Internet service providers to improve their systems that check customer identities and preserve logs.

The bill, which will provide guidelines on digital signatures and verification systems, is being compiled by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the Justice Ministry.

It will be submitted to the current Diet session.

A digital signature allows people to use the Internet to buy and sell goods and services. A third party verifies the identification.

The police agency is urging mandatory identity checks on people who apply for such digital signatures and verification.

The agency's request follows recent incidents of hackers rewriting central government Web sites and people committing online crimes by using stolen identifications and passwords.

While MITI says that companies should be the ones that decide how to operate their digital signature and verification systems, the police agency deems it necessary to prevent crime by mandating such identification procedures under law.

The agency predicts an increase in the number of crimes committed by people using others people's IDs on the Net.

The agency said 357 cases of so-called ``high-tech'' crimes-including bank employees manipulating company computers to steal money-were recorded last year, down by 58 from 1998.

However, the number of network-related crimes among the ``high-tech'' cases increased by 131 to 247 last year. These included swindling money or goods using false identity on the Net, as well as the distribution of child pornography.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------

Dear Executive:

Biometric technology has been a long time coming. For several years now, industry observers have been predicting an explosion of biometric applications, which will forever banish the card and PIN. The reality has been subtly different, with a steady but relatively small stream of applications being configured and implemented, often in high security situations.

Biometrics are methods of using the human body (including iris scan, retina scan, finger scan, hand geometry, facial recognition, voice verification, and dynamic signature verification) to identify or verify an individual. Applications include data security, physical access and customer identification.

The idea of using your physical attributes--fingerprints, a voiceprint, or any of several other characteristics--to prove identity has a lot of appeals. Passwords and personal identification numbers (PINs) are fraught with problems. Biometrics offers solutions. Applications that are preparing to accept biometric data include computer networks, ATMs, cars, cellular phones,

and dozens of other types of embedded systems.

HOW WILL THIS CONFERENCE HELP YOUR ORGANIZATION?

This conference is designed to give you the chance to examine the practical application of Biometrics users, systems designers, and developers of Biometric security technologies. By attending this conference, users of Biometrics will learn to develop a viable action plan for implementing and adopting biometrics. Vendors, developers and integrators should be able to plan an allocation of future efforts and resources to best serve the market.

Since, I have studied the bible and other texts, you would have to tie me down to implant me. I don't want everyone knowing my every move or what I buy. Freedom, yes freedom is to important to loss. Don't ever give your freedom away. Freedom is your personal power, don't give it away.

-- ET (bneville@zebra.net), February 06, 2000.

ET, I'm with you on this, and that is why I pass on snips, so you and other concerned Christians can see how quickly this is becoming a conceivable threat, and we can share insights and interpretations on it all. For me, the bio data to buy/sell is a test to pull out of the system before the implant, but I really cannnot imagine how.

But the bio data is LEAD by the N_S_A and private as well as academic folks are there "by invitation" (see recent thread). If you read adsx and biometrics sites, you will see that bio requires a smart card to cross-verify, which today is implanted on the back of the right hand or forhead just under the hair line because these hapen to be the only places on the human body that the temp etc. sustain the chip for transmitting perforance.

For ET,

I'm glad you have studied the Bible adn even the other texts, but, I fear you have made a common error. As one of my favorite teachers is fond of saying of his students, "Read the Bible through in '92.... and don't remember a damn thing I read."

It is made plain in the Revelation, both at the beginning and at the end, THESE THINGS MUST SHORTLY COME TO PASS. This is the same terminology used in the book of Daniel, which came to pass within a 500 year period. To be consistent, the events described in the Revelation must also have ocurred in the same time frame.

An Implanted Digital Snitch has nothing to do with the mark of the antichrist - it has everything to do with becoming the marked property of an abusive entity....

-- Hillbilly (Hillbilly@possum.crrek), February 07, 2000.

Three cheers for Hokie!! Where do you find these gems? Keep em coming! I do not consider these articles out there. It is scary stuff and sure seems like we are getting closer and closer to the end of times.

Just when I try to bury my head in the sand for a while you make me face reality once again. I guess it won't go away will it. Thanks again Hokie.
