New Device Disables Digital Cameras

New Device Disables Digital Cameras

Researchers have built a prototype device that disables digital cameras. Future versions might thwart unwanted photo-taking at a specific location and even prevent clandestine videos from being made.

The technology might one day prevent espionage in a building or stop pirating of movies from theaters.

It could even be used to stop Mom from taking pictures of her child with Santa to avoid paying for the professional shot.

This is an interesting development....

Meh. Read the Slashdot article on this, there are quite a few posts detailing easy ways in which to thwart this system.

You can still use old fashioned film instead of digital to get around this.

But an interesting Idea though.

I ain't even got a digital camera. Wish I had though. Wish I weren't so damn poor. I'm an artist you know. I could take some pretty picture!
