Computer-enhanced visual of a sentence as it is extracted from a wall.
If you’re cheating on your sweetie or talking behind somebody’s back, watch out – because there’s a new gadget headed for market that can pick up voices from walls for up to 10 years after somebody said them.
That means your boss could scan your cubicle at the office and hear you trashing him in conversations dating back to 1999.
Or your spouse could scan your bedroom – and find out if you had an illicit lover in there.

Casey Anthony likes spicy snacks.
Alleged baby-killer Casey Anthony is “spicing up” her jail experience with demands for:
- Spicy Cajun Mix,
- Jalapeno Nacho Chips,
- Hot & Spicy Corn Chips,
- “Premium” Chicken Breasts, and, as cable commentator and victim’s rights advocate Nancy Grace likes to put it , “expensive filtered water” that the jail commissary sells for $1.20 per bottle.
Casey Anthony loves these things.
And that’s not all.
We learned from the Orange County (Florida) Corrections Office that Anthony in the past week also has purchased:
- an 18-pack of super-absorbent Tampons,
- a black pen,
- a Styrofoam cup,
- hot-cocoa mix,
- a can of beef stew,
- Skittles fruit-flavored candies, all of this, ostensibly, to help her forget her worries, which include allegations that she murdered her daughter, Caylee Anthony, 2, a charge for which she will stand trial next fall.
Anthony, 23, spent $140 from her jailhouse bank account, the maximum allowed by law. She still has $420 in her account, loaded up, in part, by strangers who sent her money orders of $10 and $25, apparently because they feel sorry for her.
What do you think? Is Casey overdoing it with the snacks, or are the purchases she makes from the jail commisary with her own money no big deal? Write today. Your opinion counts.

Everybody laughs about the facelifts, collagen injections and Botox shots that make politicians look like zombies who’ve just escaped the cemetery.
Nancy Pelosi works hard to keep a more youthful look. Click her picture to see more photos.
Pie-eyed, waxen-faced Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (right) instantly comes to mind.
As do Sen. John Kerry, Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
But if you are a taxpayer, the joke is on you.
Because these expensive procedures are paid for by the deductible-free health-care packages that our elected officials give themselves as part of their compensation for “serving the people.”
Your health insurance won’t pay for cosmetic surgery or injections unless, God forbid, your face is ripped off your skull in an auto accident – or your child is burned beyond recognition in a fire.
But in the Omnibus Spending Bill just rammed through the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, our elected officials made sure they can get all the Botox, collagen and face lifts they want for no reason other than to mask their true age.
And they did it, the Office of Management and Budget found in an analysis of government spending, by earmarking a staggering $23 million to cover insurance surcharges for cosmetic procedures that aren’t medically necessary.
In boom times with a growing economy, nobody would care.
But the expenditure of $23 million during what many argue is a Second Great Depression makes no sense at all, at least not to working men and working women who are struggling to pay their mortgages and feed their children, wrinkles, frownlines and all.
