Sproul Webcam Report from the Daily Cal
In case you missed it, here is the Daily Cal article from last week on the new camera streaming footage of Sproul Plaza to demonstrate.berkeley.edu. Best sentence, in terms of sheer incomprehensibility:

“Given a set of camera frames (pan, tilt, zoom) requested by users, we present an algorithm that computes an optimal camera frame that maximizes a quasi-linear ‘satisfaction’ metric based on the summed ratios of frame area overlap divided by the maximum frame size,” Goldberg said.

The camera is so powerful that Berdahl and a Vice Chancellor decreed it be set to a lower magnification level than it is capable of to "avoid the possibility of privacy infringement on neighboring apartment buildings."
