US: "Chipping"-Start live im TV


-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-

Wer sich schon an den Western nicht satt sehen konnte, in denen diverse
John-Wayne-Typen ganze Rinderherden mit dem Brandeisen malträtierten,
kann sich am Freitag die digitale Neuverfilmung reinziehen:

Mit mächtigem Medien-Getöse und live on TV wird der Jacobs-Familie das
digitale Brandeisen angesetzt: Sie bekommen ihren Identifikations-Chip
"VeriChip" von der einschlägig bekannten Applied Digital Solutions
eingesetzt. Good Morning America berichtet live vom "chipping".

Ob die Jacobs laut muhend von dannen trotten, kann nicht garantiert
werden. Ob die US-Bürger weiterschlafen oder aufwachen leider auch
nicht.

May 13, 2002

CBS Evening News will cover VeriChip story Friday, May 10, 2002,
including early stage Alzheimer's patient Nate Isaacson

Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX), an advanced
technology development company, announced today that it is expecting
extensive, worldwide media coverage of the first-ever "chipping"
procedures scheduled for May 10, 2002.
ABC's Good Morning America will provide live coverage of the
Jacobs family "chipping" procedure that morning, with a follow-up
interview on Monday morning, May 13, 2002.

In addition, CBS Evening News will air an in-depth story on May
10, 2002, including the "chipping" of early stage Alzheimer's patient
Nate Isaacson.

As previously announced, the Jacobs family will be the first
family in the world to "get chipped" with VeriChip's personal
verification microchip. The historic "chipping" procedure will take
place in the first Authorized VeriChip Center in Palm Beach County,
Florida, followed by a press conference and an invitation-only brunch
for business partners and community leaders. During the press
conference and the business brunch, Applied Digital executives will
unveil more details about VeriChip's rollout plans.

Commenting on the extensive media interest in the event, Scott R.
Silverman, President of Applied Digital Solutions, said: "VeriChip has
been the subject of widespread media attention for the past few
months, everything from Time Magazine to the Today Show, the Early
Show, CNN's American Morning with Paula Zahn, CBS Weekend Evening
News, and the O'Reilly Factor on Fox News. We're delighted that Good
Morning America and CBS Evening News will cover the first-ever
"chipping" procedures on May 10th.

Many other television networks, magazines and newspapers from
around the world are expected to be there. CNN, Telemundo, Tech TV,
Nick News, Inside Edition, and Fox News all plan to be there.
Reporters and photographers from the Associated Press and Reuters will
cover the story. We've also heard from The Financial Times Magazine in
London, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, Wired News, the
BBC, French television, German television, Nippon TV in Japan, Brazil,
Italy, Mexico, you name it. Major media outlets throughout Europe,
Asia, Latin America and North America have expressed interest in
covering this historic international news event, along with details of
VeriChip's initial market launch in the United States."

About VeriChip(TM)

VeriChip, first announced on December 19, 2001, is a miniaturized,
implantable, radio frequency identification device (RFID) that can be
used in a variety of security, emergency and healthcare applications.
On April 4, 2002, the company announced that it had received written
guidance that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not
consider VeriChip's personal verification device to be a regulated
medical device, enabling the company to begin sales, marketing and
distribution of VeriChip in the United States. About the size of a
grain of rice, each VeriChip is composed of FDA-accepted materials and
contains a unique verification number. That number is captured by
briefly passing a proprietary, external scanner over the VeriChip. A
small amount of radio frequency energy passes through the skin
energizing the dormant VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency
signal transmitting the verification number. The company believes its
first-mover advantage will enable it to gain significant market share
in the emergency information and verification market that is estimated
to exceed $15 billion. VeriChip Corporation is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions.
