MSNBC – Wafaa Bilal, an assistant arts professor at New York University, recently decided to become the envy of every parent in the world by installing a camera in the back of his head. The only problem? His body has rejected the implant, forcing him to have the gadget removed. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, the setup used by Bilal — a camera held by three posts connected to an implanted titanium base — caused the man constant pain as his body refused to accept the presence of the device. Despite treatment with antibiotics and steroids, Bilal was forced to have the camera as well as one of the posts surgically removed. That’s not the end of things, though, because Bilal has plans to try out a different setup — one with a lighter camera, perhaps — as soon as the wounds from his surgery heal. Talk about determination!

IPhone app: Dallas man in Conn. sees home burglary

08/24/2010

Associated Press



An iPhone application helped a Dallas man, while visiting relatives hundreds of miles away in suburban Hartford, Conn., watch as two burglars broke into his home.

Vincent Hunter told WFAA-TV that he called 911 at the same time his home security system also contacted authorities.

Hunter says "we could see it unfolding."

Hunter says an iCam app, which he bought for less than $5, sent him a text message Friday afternoon alerting him that motion detectors sensed movement in his supposedly empty residence.

Hunter, who has webcams in his home, watched as two men are seen trying to break into the place. They eventually throw a brick through a glass door. The webcams, minutes later, show two police officers entering the house.

FROM Baltimore Sun/ POp Science
DNA has long been used to solve crimes and even exonerate the innocent. Soon, it could be used to pinpoint poo. Apparently, video camera surveillance was way too 20th-century for the good people of Scarlett Place Condominiums in Baltimore, who have proposed DNA tests to identify the originators of dog poop left on the premises.

Someone has not been doing his or her civic, um, duty and picking up Fido's waste, leaving messes all over the ritzy condo grounds, according to the Baltimore Sun.

Members of the condo board want to find out who's responsible, so they're turning to the same technology used to connect suspects to crime scenes and to prove paternity.

Under the proposal, every dog who lives at the condo and all visiting dogs would get a cheek swab so their DNA could be tested. Condo residents who own dogs would have to fork over $50 to cover the costs of sending poo samples to a lab. If wayward doggie doo matches a specific dog, the culprit's owner would face a $500 fine.
