A new technology created by PixAlert prevents porn from being viewed on computers in the workplace and schools by using realtime image processing to scan the image and blur anything deemed inappropriate.

Unlike conventional technology that simply tries to stop images entering the network via the Internet, PixAlert Monitor detects illegal and inappropriate images actually being displayed on screen and originating from any computer source. This includes CDs or DVDs, USB-connected memory sticks, phones or PDAs and 3G cellular or Wi-Fi hotspots.

I think if you squint your eyes hard enough, you can still make out the image — where there’s a will, there’s porn. And that begs the question, why did they even bother blurring the image when they could have simply removed it, or better yet, replaced with with a big bold blinking image of the word PORN?
