Buildings Could Save Energy By Spying On Workers 195

Galactic_grub writes "In the future, your place of work (or apartment) may very well spy on you. But that doesn't mean it'll be able to name and shame you for all your nasty habits. Researchers at Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratory (MERL) have devised a 'dumb' surveillance system that monitors the movements of workers without identifying them individually. The idea is to have a computer system automatically configure the air-conditioning to save money, or illuminate the most appropriate escape signs in an emergency."

Comment Google's deep pockets? (Score 1) 438

So now Utube is suing YouTube seeking a cease and desist on the youtube domain (I wonder if they think Google's pockets might be deeper that the previous owners)
If all they're seeking is a cease and desist order, then Google's big pockets are not a perk. It's the exact opposite. If they're just seeking injunctive relief and not damages, then Google's deep pockets just mean a harder, longer and much more expensive fight.
