Amazon Seeks 1-Nod Ordering Patent

Posted by timothy on from the sold-to-the-gentleman-with-the-slight-facial-tic dept.

theodp writes "Amazon.com is famous for its patented 1-Click ordering system. But what about 1-Nod ordering? Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is seeking a patent on a system that would let people make purchases with a nod, a smile, or even a raise of the eyebrow. Bezos' invention — 'Movement Recognition as Input Mechanism' — envisions a computing device that could interpret certain facial expressions and enhance or potentially replace conventional input devices such as keypads and touch screens."

    Granted, taken by itself it seems rather trivial. But this is just one of a million data points that all add up to the sloppiness and genuine ignorance of the Owebama administration. Remember when the PM gave Obammy a pen box carved from the beams of an anti-slave ship, and the 'bamster responded by giving the PM some shitty DVDs and his kids a couple of action figures of himself? Special relationship indeed! England, I hate to break it to you, but Iran and Venezuela are closer to 'bammy's heart than you will ever be. There's just something about unconditional control of the population that really gives ol' Barry Soetoro a boner.
