Face Recognition — Clever Or Just Plain Creepy?
Simson writes "Beth Rosenberg and I published a fun story today about our experiences with the new face recognition that's built into both iPhoto '09 and Google's new Picasa system. The skinny: iPhoto is fun, Google is creepy. The real difference, we think, is that iPhoto runs on your system and has you name people with your 'friendly' names. Picasa, on the other hand, runs on Google's servers and has you identify everybody with their email addresses. Of course, email addresses are unique and can be cross-correlated between different users. And then, even more disturbing, after you've tagged all your friends and family, Google tries to get you to tag all of the strangers in your photos. Ick."
Slashdot has to throw some bone to the pussilanimous MacFaggots every now and then.
Yaaaaayyy guise Mac is better than creepy google! Ipods are so rad!
p.s. I'm a Mexican and a MacFag once sucked my dick. But in Latin America, receiving != joto. Jajajajaja!
No. It is just another excuse to praise Apple. We should know by now that the editors are fanboys. It's what slashdot does best.
"I would eat the corn out of Apple's shit. Google is evil, and if I could figure out a way to work it in, so is Microsoft."
