To me, the core problem will always exist. Companies try to save money by working people over capacity and, thus, they’re over-loaded. Even if some tech did fix the current infoglut, companies would just re-overload employees. Cynic out!

Hi Cote!
I think the issue of detecting cat-like typing is by and large straight forward. Like I see it as a pattern recognition problem. Roughly you could state it as:
Have the last n keystrokes been made by a human or a cat (with n an integer)?
This is a classification problem with two decision categories: cat-typing or human-typing. This is a classification problem the way making a spam/non-spam decision is about an incoming email. I would think you could apply pattern recognition techniques (e.g., support vector machines, Naive Bayes, etc. etc.) appropriately. It would then seem straightforward to hack something up for Mac OS X or Lunix intarweb server mainframe machines. Or maybe not.
Also, Scala. It is a multiparadigm, static, safe programming language that supports functional- and object-oriented programming. Importantly it runs on the JVM and so is 100% interoperable with the entirety of the vast Java ecosystem out there. Here is a PDF tutorial for Java programmers: http://scala.epfl.ch/docu/files/ScalaTutorial.pdf . I would assume because of its Java interop that it is also not racist and can support Unicode. You should check it out, although it won’t blow your mind as much as it would because you’ve hacked on Ruby.
See? You can move from one programming language to the other, moving on when you discover its flaws.
Also, have you noticed that Technorati is like, b0rked? Broken. For serious.
So does this mean we can expect a Scala implemention of the “non-human keyboard interaction detection engine” from you sometime soon? ;)
On Technorati, I haven’t picked up on any hoarkyness, but I haven’t looked either. Steve has though.
