Submission + - Police Car Cameras Scan 10K License Plates Per Hr (singularityhub.com)
kkleiner writes: "Did you know that police cars these days are now outfitted with cameras that can automatically scan all license plates within their visual range? Cameras mounted on a patrol car driving 80 mph can capture plates from cars driving the opposite way traveling at the same speed. Side-mounted cameras can be used to collect plates in a parking lot as the officer cruises leisurely back and forth through the lanes! Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) technologies mounted on police cars and various stationary sites are vastly improving the monitoring capabilities of the police force, and pissing off civil rights groups just as effectively."

Submission + - Microsoft Launching Angry Birds For WP7 on May 25 (ispyce.com) 2
autospa writes: Today at the MIX11 event Microsoft set the launch date for Angry Birds, a very popular game, on the Windows Phone 7 platform: May 25th. Angry Birds has become a cultural phenomenon, with millions of users across every major computing platform, mobile and not.

Submission + - USCIS Proposes H-1B Electronic Registration (uscis.gov)
ideaz writes: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is publishing tomorrow a proposed rule that could save U.S. businesses more than $23 million over the next 10 years by establishing an advance registration process for U.S. employers seeking to file H-1B petitions for foreign workers in specialty occupations. The proposed electronic system would minimize administrative burdens and expenses related to the H-1B petition process—including reducing the need for employers to submit petitions for which visas would not be available under the statutory visa cap.
The proposed rule, which posted to the Federal Register today for public viewing, contains complete details about the registration system and estimated cost savings. USCIS encourages formal comments on the proposed rule through www.regulations.gov.
