Telephone lie detector claims to catch fibbers
2006-12-18
If you use Skype, you'll want this KishKish thingy, lol. It's Free. The best thing about this thing, though, and the reason I'm posting what is, otherwise, just an ad -- is the Clinton clip they play on the front page of their site. Laugh-Worthy.
It could be the perfect tool for suspicious spouses wanting to check whether their loved ones are playing away from home. A new telephone lie detector system promises to pick up on tell-tale signs of stress in a caller's voice whenever they tell a fib.

Available for free, the Kishkish lie detector can be easily downloaded from the web and used by those who make phone calls over the internet.

Scientists have found that frequencies in the human voice are sensitive to honesty, becoming higher when a person is lying. This is because in moments of stress, such as telling a lie, our muscles tighten as our body prepares to flee or fight causing the pitch of our voice to alter.

#1  As a way to "enhance the Skype communication experience" this is unusually stupid. It will only create suspicion and antagonism among it's customers, and send them elsewhere.
