Software can spot lovers

Better late than never dept: "Software called the Love Detector can determine if the person on the other end is feeling affection or love. 'Sorry but I'm not feeling anything for you right now,' he tells me. The Love Detector software retails for $19.95. The full voice analysis software goes for $500. But, V-Entertainment's question is what would you pay to know what the other person is thinking? They believe that information is priceless."

Eyewitness News in Las Vegas ran this story during its CES coverage. There was also a bit in the Wall Street Journal, which said the Love Detector software cost $50 a pop. "Where conventional lie detectors measure physiological changes as a person speaks, the Nemesysco technology measures subtle frequency changes that indicate emotions," said the WSJ. "V LLC says it is pursuing serious applications, such as screening people who might board airplanes for hostile intent."
