Torsten Jacobi notifies me of a brand new RFID film over at FilmPlattform (requires free registration).

The film is in German. Now, even though I know only a dozen words of German, between those few words and the fact that many of the scientific and technical terms sound the same as their English equivalents, I was able to pick up the gist of it. Also, they've included much of the soundtrack in text, and using the Google translation tool (which I find extremely helpful for global Internet surfing) I was able to get a "rough" translation and follow along.

For instance, here is a snippet of the Google-translated soundtrack:
