Japan has a TV show called Gekiroku: Keisatsu Micchaku 24ji!!, which is similar to COPS in the United States. This past week, they aired an episode which focused on a cyber-crime division in Fukuoka Prefecture, in southern Japan. The cyber cops were hot on the trail of a criminal wanted for several accounts of identity theft. At one point, the police officers were trying to look for Wi-Fi signals in their immediate area, and whipped out a "device to check Wi-Fi connections". That device was a Playstation Vita. The Vita is actually quite good at picking up Wi-Fi signals, and Japanese news site GetNews thinks that perhaps the Vita was chosen for the job because it could be better at finding the signals than smartphones or tablet computers. |
