Subject: Stop digital cameras from taking photos?
Interesting article on C|NET:
http://news.com.com/Crave+privacy+New+tech+knocks+out+digital+cameras/2100-7337_3-5869832.html?tag=nefd.lede
Reading about the way this putative technology works is to wonder how anyone
wearing spectacles is going to be able to cope. IIR(ead)C, the response is
generated because of a reflection from a lens. Therefore all lenses will
extract a response. Spectacles, all cameras, etc. Why pick on digital? Apart
from for fun, of course.
Answering myself, it's because digital lenses have some "coating" that puts them "in
a class of their own". So that's all cobblers, then.
My glasses have a coating too -- looks a lot like the ones on my camera
lenses.
