Indian neuroscientist peers into a woman's brain, finds guilt {Engadget}
Sep 15th 2008 11:57PM Sounds like rubbish science, but good enough for convicting some presumably powerless woman who anyway committed the
unspeakable crime of eloping with another man. Not good enough to convict a powerful man any time soon, I'll bet you.

May 23rd 2008 3:12AM ethana2, ideally you'd catch all the photons that came into the lens, so it would be about the lens size, not the sensor size.

BlackLine's GPS Snitch tracks straying partner's joyrides {Engadget}
Mar 6th 2008 2:12AM I wouldn't track my partner, but I would track my cat: I'm sure he'd tell me where he goes, if he could talk. Unfortunately the gps-snitch website is all hype no fact. How big is it? What does it weigh? Seems like they lock you into a service plan, too -- that low, low $399 price just isn't enough.
