US Defence might soon or already have a 1.8 gigapixel video surveillance system called “ARGUS-IS” which should be able to identify a 6″ item from an altitude of 17,000 feet !
Take a look at the amazing technology in the below video !

At Verizon, a developer outsourced his job to China and he spent most of the time at office surfing social sites.
Excerpt from Verizon’s security Blog.
As it turns out, Bob had simply outsourced his own job to a Chinese consulting firm. Bob spent less that one fifth of his six-figure salary for a Chinese firm to do his job for him.
Authentication was no problem, he physically FedExed his RSA token to China so that the third-party contractor could log-in under his credentials during the workday. It would appear that he was working an average 9 to 5 work day. Investigators checked his web browsing history, and that told the whole story.
9:00 a.m. – Arrive and surf Reddit for a couple of hours. Watch cat videos
11:30 a.m. – Take lunch
1:00 p.m. – Ebay time.
2:00 – ish p.m Facebook updates – LinkedIn
4:30 p.m. – End of day update e-mail to management.
5:00 p.m. – Go home
The best part?
Investigators had the opportunity to read through his performance reviews while working alongside HR. For the last several years in a row he received excellent remarks. His code was clean, well written, and submitted in a timely fashion. Quarter after quarter, his performance review noted him as the best developer in the building

Yesterday I posted about the DPReview’s “Studio Shot Comparison Tool“. Today I am posting a user friendly configurator tool.
Features:
- Primary Camera selection
- Automatic selection of slots based on numbe.r of camera’s selected.
- Pure jQuery hence very fast.
View it at http://apps.binarybits.net/dprtool/

When we go through a camera review at dpreview.com, one of the useful feature is the Studio Shot Comparison Tool.
After bit of messing around with their tool I found out the perfect link with which you will be able to compare various cameras.
By default the below tool allows to compare 4 cameras. But by editing the URL’s “slotsCount” parameter you can compare more cameras.
