What Are You Looking At?
Ensign Stinky writes "The NYTimes has a story, with some spooky-cool pictures, about software to extract exactly what image a person is seeing with their eyes, just from the reflection on their cornea. You can see even a wider image than the subject and tell what they're specifically focusing on. It's too bad the coolest tech is immediately subverted for evil. The possible applications listed include 'surveillance cameras that spot suspicious behavior.' Remind anyone of that scene in the movie 'Wild Wild West' where they extract the last thing the dead guy saw?"
So I need to wear my tinfoil hat AND dark sunglasses!

This is really going to get me in shit with the wife.
(bit about 'Wild Wild West')
Hmm.. No, I think I can safely say that I blocked it out of my memory.
As long as I don't watch it before I die, no one will ever know that I saw it!
...don't get any real-time version of this, i'm in the clear.
Now, we can finally answer the age old question.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU STARING AT?!
BEEP!
Female worker: Stop looking at my breasts!
Male worker: I wasn't!
BEEP!
Female worker: Argh! You did it again!
BEEP!
Women have been able to detect what men are looking at for centuries.

I can imagine it now...
Spy1: What is he looking at?
Spy2: Hang on...it's still processing...
Spy1: Well?
Spy2: He's looking at two guys wearing shades and dark coats operating a massive camera and computer!
Spy1: Doh!

GF: "So, why were you staring at her? And her? And her? You didn't even *look* at her face! And that one? Another? How many women *do* you stare at walking to work???"

De Niro may have been able to pull it off, but "There is a 93.245% probability that you are looking at me" just wouldn't have the same ring to it.
Remind anyone of that scene in the movie 'Wild Wild West'...
Someone actually saw Wild Wild West and admitted it!

Someone else saw this movie? I thought I was the only one.
She can tell exactly which girls I'm checking out, no matter how careful I think I am.

It's too bad that the average slashdot'r considers spotting suspicious behavior as "evil".

The first time, the woman was smiling at me. The second time, the woman was glaring at me.
The third time, I had mace in my eyes.
Evil is the money of root.
"Our security cameras showed that you spent twenty six minutes and eighteen seconds staring directly at Ms. Jones' chest in the last month alone."
Ha! You're fifteen minutes and thirty-six seconds short. Your system isn't as good as you thought it was.
For most of us guys, that would be 'every single pair in sight,' so I don't think there'll be too much new info there:-)
Seems a moot point. I found a site a little while back that already sells countermeasures for this type of snooping...
