Scientists Create Easier Way To Embed Objects Into Video

Ashutosh Saxena writes "Stanford artificial intelligence researchers have developed software that makes it easy to reach inside an existing video and place a photo on the wall so realistically that it looks like it was there from the beginning. The photo is not pasted on top of the existing video, but embedded in it. It works for videos as well — you can play a video on a wall inside your video. The technology can cheaply do some of the tricks normally performed by expensive commercial editing systems. The researchers suggest that anyone with a video camera might earn some spending money by agreeing to have unobtrusive corporate logos placed inside their videos before they are posted online."

"pervasive ads are less effective"

"i just use ad block"

"no one clicks on ads anymore"

blah blah blah

hey assholes: what do you think PAYS for all of the shiny fun websites you like? what do you think pays for slashdot? the hot air in your comments? your sense of self-regard?

not that you have to click on ads you don't like and never will, but maybe you can show the slightest sense of humility and simply shut up: SOMEONE is clicking them, and that someone is paying for the site you like. you think they are morons? your enjoyment of the websites you like is due to the "morons" who click on the ads you hate

in other words, don't look a gift horse in the mouth. all you have to do so that what pays for your websites continues paying for your websites is to learn to shut up when you are smart enough to know you should shut up

some of you apparently are not smart enough to know when to shut up
