Beta users are applauding the latest release of CA's framework software, saying the more modular design makes it easier to implement and use. CA says it rebuilt the Unicenter architecture so customers could pick and choose from the different network and systems management components, rather than implement the whole package.

The cameras in this case are the property of the Tampa, Fla., police department. About 100 people protested a new security system that scans faces in the city's crime-ridden nightlife district to search for wanted criminals. The video cameras snap pictures of faces in the crowd and analyze 80 facial points between the nose, cheekbones and eyes to compare them to a database of 30,000 criminals and runaway teens. In a related note, sales at novelty shops of fake glasses and funny noses have skyrocketed.
