In a $6.7 million deal with software company Kitware, a DARPA project will develop a method of "indexing and rapidly finding video from archived surveillance tapes."

According to a DARPA document:

"The U.S. military and intelligence communities have an ever increasing need to monitor live video feeds and search large volumes of archived video data for activities of interest due to the rapid growth in development and fielding of motion video systems."

This is like "Enemy of the State" meets "You Tube" in an effort to combat terrorism.

Asus like their PCs how I like my pizzas. With everything. Their new all-in-one PC ships later this year at the low price of $400. From the looks of the video below, it looks to be well worth it. The 15 inch nettop display has a simplified Windows interface with larger than usual icons so the computer illiterates among us can feel at home. It’s sort of like the "Reader’s Digest" of computers.

The unit also features Asus’s version of DeviceVM’s Splashtop technology which allows users to be surfing the web within seconds of booting up. Not bad. Those wasted boot-up minutes were beginning to add up.

Brace yourselves – this guy in the picture doesn’t have pants on, GASP! Who wears flannel boxers anyway? Apparently Pat Connelly (above) does. He is , an ex-Midway employee, who is taking Nintendo to court.  A YouTube video up showing a Pat demonstrating something astoundingly similar to a Wiimote / Nunchuck… eight years ago. His demo shows his hacked-together controllers providing a surprisingly-responsive interface for a bit of Ready 2 Rumble Boxing on the Dreamcast. Connelly, says that he has had no formal involvement with the Wii, but holds the related patents and is taking Nintendo to the BANK.

This sweet, shark looking gizmo is actually a WiFi-enabled, remotely-controlled robotic webcam called Rovio. This bad boy allows you to remotly survey your home or office remotly through streaming video and audio transmitted via the Internet to your cell phone, PC or video game console.

Are you kidding me? This is stuff straight out of James Bond

The WowWee Robotics’ Rovio retails for USD$299.

According to Trusted Reviews, this Sanyo Xacti has a great design, but does not live up to its claims.

Looking like a portable shaver or a Star Trek weapon, it is lightweight and can fit into a coat pocket. It features 720p HD video recording and 5-megapixel stills, but the image quality (IQ) is not the best.
