Zothecula writes about some pretty cool sensor gloves. From the article: "Since beginning in 2003, the Microsoft Imagine Cup has tasked students the world over with developing technology aimed at solving real-world problems. In this, its 10th year, students were asked to build their project around a specific Millennium Development Goal ... The winners have just been announced ... [and winning] first place (and US$25,000) in the Software Design category was the Ukraine's quadSquad with their EnableTalk gloves that translate sign language into speech in real time."

Andrew Y. Ng, a Stanford computer scientist, is cautiously optimistic about neural networks. There Google scientists created one of the largest neural networks for machine learning by connecting 16,000 computer processors, which they turned loose on the Internet to learn on its own.

I'm normally against DHS and TSA, but from what I've read they are not changing what they do at all, and that these stops were common for a very long time. The only change is that DHS is involved instead of just highway patrol, and that drivers are being asked to report "see something say something" which is a silly slogan.
