...Still, some engineers question how a webcam even made it onto the market with this seemingly glaring flaw. "It's surprising HP didn't get this right," says Bill Anderson, president of Oculis Labs in Hunt Valley, Md., a company that develops security software that uses face recognition to protect work computers from prying eyes. "These things are solvable." Case in point: Sensible Vision, which develops the face-recognition security software that comes with some Dell computers, said their software had no trouble picking up the black employee's face when they tested the YouTube video...
...raise the idea that your work could have profound implications for religion. But is whether there is life after death really a scientific question, or a theological one? I think we have an interesting blend. [This research] directly addresses what religions have been telling us for millenniums to accept on faith: that there is an afterlife, that there is some order and purpose to this universe, that there's some reason and purpose for us being here in earthly life. We're finding verification, if you will, for what so many religions have been saying. It's an important step...

If sea level rises, these so-called storm surges become more damaging. In order to put a dollar figure on how much more damaging, a group of scientists looked at climate models, hurricane databases and so-called catastrophe models that evaluate the potential destruction of storms in specific places.

...long history of court opinions shows that entirely reasonable Justices have disagreed about this question for many years. There is an obvious tension that open-minded people can easily recognize between freedom of speech and the danger of certain voices drowning everyone else out. On certain subjects, though, this court is not open-minded. Kennedy and his four conservative brethren saw only the principle that the Constitution is designed to limit government power. Faced with a Congress that had passed a law declaring who can say what about elected officials, and how and when, they squeezed the trigger...
