Technology 1 - 0 Crooks

Engadget.com wrote:Britain, rightly or wrongly, is crawling with surveillance cameras for spying on its citizenry. But there's a whole class of cameras that could be used for security purposes that MI5/MI6 may have forgotten about: webcams. On Friday, a Beatles fan happened to be watching the webcam that's trained on Mathew Street, a nabe in Liverpool that houses the famous Cavern Club, where the Fab Four got their start. This astute fan watched from his home in Dallas as three perps were breaking into a sports store. He picked up his phone and called the Liverpool police -- and the suspects were arrested. Technology 1 - 0 Crooks.

Just read this on my favorite blog, Engadget and I thought every victorya for technology should be celebrated =)

Great site! I especially liked that cat feeding ideea, really cool to feed your cat via ssh and a script.The bedside computer it's great, you can read rss feeds in bed ( lazy people invented perl too ). Who could you resist the ideea to actualy feel the simulated interactions, GRAB here looks like having a future. I hate surveillance so I'm not going with this cameras for spying project.

Site bookmarked.

Yeah, engadget features some wicked gadgets... the only "problem" is that they feature almost too much... unless you check it at least every second day, you get completely lost in new articles...
some of my recent highlights were the article about the working mecha and the working jetpack...
