Big Brother just got scarier: Japanese CCTV camera can scan 36 million faces per second - and recognise anyone who has walked into its gaze
Quote
Biometric camera stores details of everyone who walks past it
Stores 'library' of face info
Can scan through 36 million faces per second searching for people
Will be on sale to governments within next year
QuoteA new camera technology from Hitachi Hokusai Electric can scan days of camera footage instantly, and find any face which has EVER walked past it.
Its makers boast that it can scan 36 million faces per second.
The technology raises the spectre of governments - or other organisations - being able to 'find' anyone instantly simply using a passport photo or a Facebook profile.

When I was younger, people always talked about this kind of stuff like it was a great thing. So I read the book 1984 and I thought, "Well, what if the technology fell into the wrong hands? Imagine how it could be used against the people? Is not this the perfect tool for a totalitarian regime?
Well, time will tell.

And with TV's with cameras... It will soon be that a voice will call out, "Winston Smith..."
Yeah. We BETTER get this ball rolling to take away Their money/power with energy!
oh this must be my weekend for this stuff..just got this e-mail and checked it out..the bird's eye view is about 6 years old..but still...dang
you really only need a number and street with a zip code...to get a list of your neighbors
...
this kind of information without anyone's permission, what do you think the government knows?
The answer is simple; anything they want to know. Have a comforting and secure day.
Useful Tool?
Hey everyone! This works. I looked a bunch of us up. It's pretty scary!!
Just put in your street address and zip code and your whole neighborhood pops up with an aerial photo. It will list all the persons living at your address plus the phone number.....
This thing actually works. It takes a few seconds to warm up and it's fairly accurate. We can run, but we can't hide! Give this a try to see who your neighbors are
This is interesting. There are maps of your neighborhood and they show the names of the people in every house. Check it out!
Go to website: http://neighbors.whitepages.com Enter your address, and up comes a map of your area...and a list of all neighbors and their phone numbers!
