"This ant is one of the meanest, most evil creatures that God ever put on Earth. It hates every other living thing, and pours out of its nest ready to fight. If it can't be stopped in Queensland, it will be in the backyards of Sydney and Melbourne in the near future." Austrailia joins 'war' against fire ants. |

This is a car that responds to the emotions of the people inside. If it senses a happy mood it automatically takes a picture. (How Japaneese) I need to setup a ubicomp topic. I wrote a paper in college about how potential privacy concerns with ubicomp recording systems in might be curtailed if the system could judge your emotional reaction to a context and file the data accordingly... IMHO this car will "get it wrong" and it will take a while before this sort of stuff is accurate. A funny post from slashdot: Susie: MMmmmmmsmack!kissgrope!
David: MMmmsmack!gropekiss!
Susie: Slurpgurglesuck!
David: Slurplicklicklick!
Car: Oooh! Happy moment! Everybody smile! [photoflash!]
