Photographers seeing _Human_Target_ may have noticed a very fine
technology that takes a completely pixillated image, in a reflection no
less- and fills in incredible detail that wasn't at all available in the
first place.... At the same time, their computers whir as they did last
decade, but no reels....

You see that all the time on CSI and its various spinoffs and clones.

Yes, and I have seen the same phenom there, but this was as if you took
a 200 x 300 image and gave it the resolution of a 2000 x 3000 - oh,
hell, not even that, as there really was no detail to work with. Maybe
it's not a quantum leap beyond the CSI stuff.

I particularly liked the juxtaposition of the whirring computers,
though.....

Yeah, they do that on CSI--blurred image of a street scene shot with a
video surveillance camera and they enlarge and sharpen it to read a
license number off a car six blocks away.

That sad thing is that after seeing that people think that it's really
possible.

Yes, perhaps even some on this very group....
