Palo Alto police hunt for high-tech Peeping Tom
Man allegedly used cell phone to record video up women's skirts at Fry's Electronics

Strange. Although I don't think this was very "high-tech". "High-tech" would have been incorporating a pinhole video camera into the toe of his shoe or something similarly inconspicuous.

I guess because it happened at Frys. It sounded better as High Tech peeping tomfoolery

We've come a long way from patent leather shoes and Bob Hope's "She didn't break my toes, but she busted my mirror." Perhaps Simitian can pass a law requiring an audible click sound mandatory rather than optional.

I think they call it high tech, simply because it happened at frys. Which is ironic, because frys is mainly 1990's garbage.

What did this loser expect the women to do? Straddle the "handbag"? Sorry to be graphic but this is one stupid pervert.

Journalists, be cautious about using the term "high tech" in Silicon Valley.

How come Fry's security could not detain him? Too busy resealing packages?

You gotta love the irony of him being caught on hidden camera and having his picture uploaded to the internet.

For all of you out there who like looking up girls' skirts: there's an app for that.Web Link

The interactive Puff! iPhone app from BottleCube lets you "blow" up cute Japanese girls' skirts by blowing on the mic of your phone or tapping with your finger. The harder you blow, the higher the skirt -- and the girl's squeal.

Weird but true.

This is more interesting than trees.

This is reminiscent of the Fun House at Playland in Frisco. Thanks for the cite, Sharon. Which one is you?

Have fun with your little jokes people but ask yourself this.....what if it was your wife or daughter who was a victim of this guy and somehow the pictures were posted on the internet? Not so funny is it?

Annoyed, How could the public know who it belongs to?

Huh?: There's an app for that?
