Microsoft Seeking Hot-Or-Not Patent

Posted by kdawson on from the getting-colder dept.

theodp writes "In its just-disclosed patent application for the Online Personal Appearance Advisor, Microsoft describes the 'invention' of its three Microsoft Research employees in these words: 'The contributor uploads self images for viewing and rating (or voting) by viewers who choose provide an opinion on different fashion and/or cosmetic looks of the contributor.' So what do you think — is Microsoft's invention really Hot or Not?"

    You just wait.

    Or don't you remember that the CIA was accused of releasing super secret spy squirrels into Iran?

    Best link I can find, but I seem to remember hearing Iran also claim they've caught super secret spy pigeons, too.

    This sort of stuff is full-blown crazy, not just weird. Moon landing deniers would chuckle at this. SPY SQUIRRELS.
