What does Ron Burgundy love more than scotch?? Hockey!! ... and it turns out Will Ferrell's classic 'Anchorman' character is a damn good color commentator for the L.A. Kings!! The legendary news anchor made a special appearance at the Kings vs. San Jose Sharks game on Thursday ... and, of course, we're in a glass case of emotion over it. The highlights range from shading the Sharks for never winning the Stanley Cup to chugging Molson beers before the game.

This month, Helen Woodward Animal Center will once again unite with animal welfare proponents and organizations worldwide for the 5th Annual Remember Me Thursday.
Honored on the fourth Thursday of September, the campaign asks pet lovers and animal rescue groups to create an unstoppable, integrated voice advocating for homeless pets to live in forever homes, not die waiting for them. Grassroots candle-lighting ceremonies and a global avalanche of social media buzz will shine a light on the millions of animals still awaiting adoption and encourage communities to opt to adopt and reduce the millions of homeless pets euthanized each year.

Helen Woodward Animal Center encourages the world to join with these philanthropic celebrities and...

Dancing With the Stars usually has at least one or two athletes competing each season. But Erin Andrews, a former contestant and now host of the ABC competition show, doesn't think her hot boyfriend, L.A. Kings star Jarret Stoll, should be one of them. "I don't think my man would do very well being in hair and makeup," Andrews told me the other day while promoting her gig as a spokesperson for Florida Orange Juice. "He would not like that whole ordeal. He does love fashion, but I don't think he would enjoy being in the hair and makeup trailer very long." But she would love to see Stoll's teammate Jeff Carter try it out. "Jeff has the longest, longest legs and the way he...

Before, iris scanners were the stuff of movies: dusty laser beams glazing over eyeballs in futuristic sci-fi flicks. The technology in real life was too slow, clunky, and expensive to be viable. But biometrics R&D firm Hoyos Corporation (formerly known as Global Rainmakers) has changed that, bringing the potential of a Minority Report-like future one step closer. Months ago, the company began building the "most secure city in the world" after one of the largest cities in Mexico agreed to fill its streets with Hoyos' scanners. And today, Hoyos unveiled its smallest, least expensive, and most viable product yet: the EyeSwipe Nano.
At just 5.5 inches wide, 4 inches tall, and 3 inches deep, the companies latest iris scanner is not only a quarter of the size of the device's previous iteration, the EyeSwipe Mini, but a quarter of its cost. The unit's price is just $1,499, and using the same technology...

Last month, we reported on Global Rainmakers Inc. (Gri), a biometrics R&D firm that's bringing iris scanning technology to Leon, Mexico. Gri aims to make Leon "the most secure city in the world" by dotting the city with scanners and creating an iris database to track all residents. Now, it appears the technology will be crossing the border sooner than we expected.
Today, it surfaced that the Department of Homeland Security is planning to test Gri's tech at a border patrol station in Texas, where it will be used to monitor illegal immigrants. Rather than continue to rely on oft-unreliable fingerprints, the Dhs is experimenting with the scanners to see whether they have a viable future for border security.
As we showed you before, iris scanners are becoming more viable thanks to Gri's technology, which can scan up to 50 people per minute, from several feet away, while on-the-go (even running). Before,...

Earlier today, we revealed the future of security and advertising -- and how it will all fall under the watchful beam of an iris scanner. The company behind the technology, Global Rainmakers Inc., has big plans for the system, which is launching in the city of Leon, Mexico. To help wrap our heads around the project, we spoke with Jeff Carter, chief business development officer of Gri, to find out how it will change our lives.
Fast Company: Why did Gri choose iris scans? Jeff Carter: Well, one of the big problems in corporate America is reference data--that is, all the data that is about us. We don't have any way to link it all together. It's one of the reasons why your bank account doesn't reconcile until 48 hours later because there's all this data behind it that they have to execute manually.

We've all seen and obsessively referenced Minority Report, Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Philip K. Dick's dystopian future, where the public is tracked everywhere they go, from shopping malls to work to mass transit to the privacy of their own homes. The technology is here. I've seen it myself. It's seen me, too, and scanned my irises.
Biometrics R&D firm Global Rainmakers Inc. (Gri) announced today that it is rolling out its iris scanning technology to create what it calls "the most secure city in the world." In a partnership with Leon -- one of the largest cities in Mexico, with a population of more than a million -- Gri will fill the city with eye-scanners. That will help law enforcement revolutionize the way we live -- not to mention marketers.
"In the future, whether it's entering your home, opening your car, entering your workspace, getting a pharmacy prescription refilled,...
