Turn Real Life Into A Cartoon

Saige writes "Ever wanted to see yourself in a cartoon? Before now, there were means to turn a single image into something cartoon-like, but some folks at Microsoft Research have come up with a method to turn a video into an animated cartoon. It's not up to doing it fully automated, as you have to hand-mark various parts of the video every 10 to 15 frames, but the video of the results is quite impressive."

Spectacular crashes

[SysKoll]

Somehow I am not surprised. Working under Windows already has many similarlies with a Road Runner cartoon. You get this awkward contraption and you try to use it in order to earn your food, and it always ends up in a spectacular failure followed by a painful crash.

Windows XP my ass. They should rename it the ACME Operating System.

Does someone else have these visions of a penguin emerging from a hole and asking "Hey, what's up, Steve" to a round-headed, baby-faced bald guy with murderous intents?
