Pixelpalooza™ is an annual forum for all icon artists (iconists, as we like to call them) to strut their stuff and show how much talent is really out there. The main purpose of the contest is to energize the Macintosh icon community and generate a lot of fun in the process. But we also give away very cool prizes as well.

MANALAPAN, Fla. — One of the nation's wealthiest towns will soon have cameras and computers running background checks on every car and driver that passes through.

Police Chief Clay Walker said cameras will take infrared photos recording a car's tag number, then software will automatically run the numbers through law enforcement databases. A 911 dispatcher is alerted if the car is stolen or is the subject of a "be on the lookout" warning.
