Back when I was still in high school, like any teenager, I had porn on my computer. I was smart enough even back then to cover my tracks in the browser and to hide my files where no one could find them. Any smart teenager these days would probably do well to hide their collection on an encrypted flash drive or something. Among many other reasons, it should help defeat this supposedly magic Porn Detection Stick from Paraben.
This flash drive is supposed to scan all of the images on a computer, and use a complex series of algorithms “analyze flesh tones, shapes and curvatures, face detection, body part separation, and more to alert you to images likely to contain pornographic material.” When you think about it, that’s actually some pretty cool technology (provided that it works). They say that it’s for protecting your children or employees, but heck, it would be a great tool for finding more porn to add to your collection. Oh come on, you were thinking the same thing! The $100 price is probably going to be enough to make most parents and employers find a different way to sniff out porn.
