A recent IT World article entitled "Narus Develops a Scary Sleuth for Social Media" reported on a Narus product called Hone last year: Hone will sift through millions of profiles searching for people with similar attributes --- blogger profiles that share the same e-mail address, for example. It can look for statistically likely matches, by studying things like the gender, nationality, age, location, home and work addresses of people. Another component can trace the location of someone using a mobile device such as a laptop or phone. Media advocate Tim Karr reports that "Narus provides Egypt Telecom with Deep Packet Inspection equipmen...

Scott Smullen of the NOAA maintains the effectiveness of training inspectors to declare food harvests safe by the (we kid you not) use of the whiff test – if it smells like oil it is contaminated and if it smells “okay” then it is safe to eat.

It is really more of a regular maintenance routine, but there is usually a suspicious looking assistant manager who accompanies the crew to make certain that I am not running an unapproved meth lab or have not burned down the kitchen without notifying the office in advance. I was fine with the first inspection here because I knew the manager loved cats and I handed her one while the others replaced filters, changed batteries, checked the fire extinguisher, and did the other necessary things. I got a notice six months ago that I was due for an inspection, but none ever happened. I was therefore not terribly surprised when I got the current notice to see that a single word had been added for this (yearly) inspection. I ha...

You may not want to meet him at the drugmaker’s 42nd Street cafeteria. During a recent series of surprise inspections at some of Manhattan’s biggest corporate lunchrooms, New York City health inspectors found rats, mice and flying insects, which yielded a failing grade of 42, NewsMax reports. Under New York statutes, a score of 28 health violation points could result in a facility being fined and or shut down. This week, however, the health inspectors returned after Pfizer promised to “address the situation,” and the cafeteria received the stellar grade of 27, which means the drugmaker avoided serious trouble by just one point. But even with the improved performance, Newsmax notes, Pfizer still ranks among the bottom of t...
