Macs have a shft+command+3 command which does take a screen grab, but it takes it in an akward format that you probably couldn't change remotely or something. And that wouldn't take a picture with the laptop's built-in webcam you silly goose.

Cell Phone Radiation Detectors Proposed to Protect Against Nukes 238

Posted by Soulskill on Friday January 25, 2008 @06:09AM from the distributed-homeland-security dept.

crosshatch brings us news out of Purdue University, where researchers are developing a radiation detection system that would rely on sensors within cell phones to locate and track potentially hazardous material. From the Purdue news service: "Such a system could blanket the nation with millions of cell phones equipped with radiation sensors able to detect even light residues of radioactive material. Because cell phones already contain global positioning locators, the network of phones would serve as a tracking system, said physics professor Ephraim Fischbach. 'The sensors don't really perform the detection task individually,' Fischbach said. 'The collective action of the sensors, combined with the software analysis, detects the source. Say a car is transporting radioactive material for a bomb, and that car is driving down Meridian Street in Indianapolis or Fifth Avenue in New York. As the car passes people, their cell phones individually would send signals to a command center, allowing authorities to track the source.'"
