By Stefanie Marsh
CELEBRITIES hounded by paparazzi may at last be able to emerge from behind their dark glasses without trepidation.
By wearing a specially designed electronic badge that jams electronic cameras, they will be able to prevent photographers from taking unwanted pictures.
The privacy protection system being developed by Hewlett-Packard will allow the publicity-shy to transmit an infrared signal to any nearby compatible camera. Once activated, the cameras software will automatically blur beyond recognition the face of anybody wearing the badge, New Scientist magazine reports.

i never understood why celebrities don't like their pictures taken. it's BS! it's their choice to be a celebrity, they can't be shy! it's their job to get their pictures taken. if you don't want to be a celebrity, just quit the freaking business. nobody bothers me with flashing cameras. :)
Whoa, so does this mean that the criminal element will start wearing these badges so that they can not be photographed while under surveilance? (think FBI, Interpol, all those crime shows on TV....)
I have been wondering if digital photography would mean the end of film, but with this becoming widespread, maybe not!
