DailyTech - New App Can ID Complete Stranger's Facebook and Social Security No.

"The application's name is PittPatt and it allows a complete stranger to find your identity -- your real identity -- in under 60 seconds (http://marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/2011/09/08/pm-9-11s-effect-on-tech/?refid=0 - broken link). Here's how it works. A client code calls the PittPatt interface with a picture it's taken. PittPatt jumps online and compares that picture to millions of images in Facebook and in Google Inc.'s (GOOG (http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/goog - broken link)) image search, using advanced facial recognition technology. And within 60 seconds, it can identify an individual."
