Samsung System Tailors Ads To Its Audience

angry tapir writes "Samsung has developed an outdoor digital advertising system that tailors ads based on its audience. There are three main components of the system: an LCD display panel, a dual lens camera and a processing computer, which runs the company's proprietary facial recognition software. If the technology identifies several female members in a group, then it can target advertisements at them, for example. Even if the group is mixed, the technology can identify whether onlookers are children or adults. If they're adults then maybe a wine ad could run whereas an advertisement for toys might play for kids."

HP Alpha fabrication, where is Samsung? by Anonymous Coward · 2009-09-06 14:18 · Score: -1, Offtopic

When is Samsung going to upgrade the fabrication of 21364 Alpha processors? They're barely 1.8GHz, although still outperform Intel and AMD processors in computation and then some to Sun's Sparc processor memory and bus bandwidth.
Why are they just sitting on Alpha? I've had to buy into IBM's Power line of processors in wait of a new Alpha.
