New Software Detects Porn on Workplace Computers
The program scans and grades images based on specific "sophisticated" parameters to identify the offending files. It works in real-time to alert administrators that porn is being downloaded and scours offline files to hunt down culprits. Costing $17,000 to watch 500 computers, the program cannot specifically spot child pornography or scan phones and PDAs, so there are some drawbacks.
Now it's up to business to figure out the cost effectiveness of weeding out a few pervs versus spending the money on the program. We can't wait to see that PowerPoint presentation. Actually, scratch that. We can definitely wait. [From: CNET]

The software maker actually isn't Orem, it's Paraben. Orem is the city where the software maker Paraben is based. Yes the wording is very funky in that article, had to read it like 5 times. Just thought I'd point that out if anybody cares.

I saw something like this back in 2004
It identifies files by alternative means (so just renaming the .jpg to .whatever will NOT do the trick)
"Sophisticated parameters" means that it looks for skin tones, and then measures how much of the image has skin on it (as opposed to, say, landscape)... If the skin-to-landscape ratio is high, it reports it as "possible pr0n"
On videos I think it also looks for movement patterns..
But this is definitely not new. Whoever claimed it as "new" is a scam
(I don't remember the name of the other program, I've been using Linux for a long time... I don't know about Windows things anymore)
