Frustrated with unwanted people looking at your computer screen? Inventors 
Martin Ek and Bo Larsson have developed software to alert you whenever there
is 'shoulder surfer' around.

The new system uses front-facing cameras usually found on netbooks and laptops, 
reports New Scientist.

It makes the screen of the computer go blank, whenever more than more than one 
face is in front of the device. However, selected friends can be permitted
to read your screen through facial recognition software.
