"NEC has launched an automated face recognition system capable of identifying you when you are still inside your car... NeoFace has already been installed at the Hong Kong - Shenzhen border... the system is designed to boost the speed and efficiency of Hong Kong Immigration Department operations by allowing residents with microchipped national ID cards to remain in their vehicles while automated cameras verify their identities."
Pretty awesome stuff. It's amazing the difference in efficiency between countries that get technology and those that don't (e.g. Australia).

"Kono Pizza, a fast food restaurant is offering its customers pizza in a cone...Instead of preparing toppings on a traditional flat crust, the toppings are placed inside a cone shaped crust (think an ice cream cone) and then baked."
Initially wacky, but after thinking about it, it's actually quite a cool idea. Comments said that there was one in Times Square HK - must be new-ish because I don't remember one being there (I did see the Krispy Kreme there though :) )
