Gigapixel cameras

This sure beats Adina's calendar tease.
Think you can hide in a large crowd? Not anymore ! Ever wonder how they found the Boston bombers in just a few days? This may help you to understand what governments can look at. This photo was taken in Canada and shows about 70,000 people. Hard to disappear in a crowd. Pick a small part of the crowd click a couple of times -- wait -- click a few more times and see how clear each individual face will become each time. Or use the wheel on your mouse. This picture was taken with a 70,000 x 30,000 pixel camera (2100 Mega Pixels.) These cameras are not sold to the public and are being installed in strategic locations. (Common cell phone cameras range from 2 to 20 Mega pixels.) The camera can identify a face among a multitude of people. Place your computer's cursor in the mass of people and double-click a couple times. Scary sharp!! Not so easy to hide in a crowd anymore. http://www.gigapixel.com/mobile/?id=79995

Who is watching you? Oh my. All the shootings today, 5 kids under 5 in Cleveland alone last month just while riding in a car, my thoughts are, a lot of good this is doing right now.

Very interesting. I hope it is put to some good use, but it's creepy and amazing at the same time
