Submission + - Forensic computer targets digital crime (networkworld.com)

coondoggie writes: "A European consortium has come up with a high-speed digital forensic computer dedicated to the task of quickly offloading and analyzing all computer records from email or picture files to database contents and file transfers.The TreCorder is a rugged forensic PC able to copy or clone up to three hard disks simultaneously, at a speed of up to 2 Gb/min. The same transfer would take 30 to 60 minutes using alternative equipment. The PC not only provides a complete mirror image of the hard disk and system memory — including deleted and reformatted date — but also eliminates any possibility of falsification in the process, Hermann said. It uses the FireWire high-speed serial bus to connect the host computer and provides support for IDE, SATA and SCSI hard disks. http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/19197"

Submission + - Stampedes can be predicted by CCTV software

An anonymous reader writes: Analysis of footage from the Jamarat Bridge stampede tragedy during the 2006 Hajj pilgrimage has shown up new processes that can be used to predict when such a disaster will occur. Sharp waves move through a crowd before a turbulent phase when people are jostled in unpredictable directions, when they are likely to fall, leading to a stampede. Software used by the researchers could be used to provide warning before this stage is reached.
