Sleuthing Software Can Reassemble Deleted Photos: Now, new software is smart enough to find and reassemble fragmented digital photographs, even when the directions for locating them have been deleted.

One day, this software may be useful not only in its consumer applications, restoring snapshots that have accidentally been erased, but also in recovering deliberately deleted images that might provide evidence in cases of corporate spying or child pornography.
