Porn lovers or those who, you know, just read the articles, might want to take notice: a device from Paraben can be plugged into a computer's USB port and detect pornographic images on a hard drive.

The Porn Detection Stick is an interesting--and for some, worrisome--device. A porn investigator can pick up this handy device for about $100, plug it into the USB drive of any Windows-based PC, and run the Porn Detection program.

The software searches the hard drive using "advanced image analyzing algorithms that categorize images as potentially harmful by identifying facial features, flesh tone colors, image backgrounds, body part shapes, and more" to detect all pornographic images on the hard drive. Worse of all for those of us, er, you, who delete those images from the hard drive: Paraben's stick will find those too.
