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?"

    Do you know how slashdot works? Really? For the cost of 8 Karma points I've ruined a perfectly inane yet-another-microsoft-bashing thread and turned it to my own purposes.

    And Darfur, Somalia, anywhere in central Africa, the solution is the same: Look down. If you see feet there, try and move one in front of the other. If you can get that done, try the other in front of the one. If that works, keep doing that until you get the hell out of central Africa. In the words of Sam Kinnison "GO TO WHERE THE FOOD IS!".

    This thread is now the official Iranian Insurrection thread, and the mods might as well change TFS.
