It works. The technology has existed since the 90s. The face recognition algorithm have improved significantly in the last 10 years due to better processing power and new imaging technologies.
As long as the list of individuals put on the wanted list is limited, existing processing power can provide almost live results. The more profiles there are to evaluate the longer it will take. If the client application actually does the conversion from the image to the vector matrix the server can actually be far more productive and handle more requests per minute.
ANPR which automatically detects plate numbers has been in use in the US for a while now.
As far as I'm concerned there are only benefits in having cops wear a camera. 1. They're actions are monitored which deters corruption and abuse of power 2. They can tie the face recognition system to identify wanted individuals
You don't really need to. It all depends on how anal you are about the color tones. I have a projector that projects on a green wall. The whites are white. If you start dissecting the colors I'm sure they aren't 100% but it doesn't seem to bother anybody that watches video on it
Not lazy. They can only be out for a limited amount of time and when they are they have these massive gloves that make it impossible to work with bolts and wires. The robotic arm is farm more precise and keeps the astronauts working longer and out of danger.
Yes. Same code for phone, tablet and PC. Arm or X86. That's the beauty of their dev tools. Little to no tweaking between devices. This isn't the case for Apple or Linux.
4GB of ram isn't a long shot anymore but Windows 8 runs fine on much less than that. Netbooks have the OS using only 480MB. The cold boot time was 22 seconds which is very reasonable. With version 8.1 it is suppose to be even less memory hungry with a similar boot time.
Many changes in marketing direction. Many companies back in the day adopted years for their software and eventually went to release names and finally went back to basics which is version number. Behind the scenes the number continued to increase as version numbers went up. E.g. Vista was the save version number as Windows 2008 and Windows 7 was same version as Windows 2008 R2.
At the end of the day it doesn't matter. The product's ability to deliver what is was built for is what matters and their PC sales prove they appeals to 90% of the population.
Stepping stones. Windows 8 was a wobbly stepping stone but it was a stepping stone. Dev on MS is much easier to cross over platforms than it was in the past.
Regulations aren't destruction in most cases so the broken window fallacy doesn't apply here.
Regulations do many things good things for society on top of forcing changes that result in movement in economies. I know I'm pretty happy there are food regulations as well as electrical regulations. There are many more that could be mentioned that affected you daily.
Most users really don't care. I know I don't. I'm not encoding videos with my phone. I click on shit and it comes up. And the price point where I live is $0.00 with a plan. It was $0.00 at release because they are trying to pierce the market.
Putting green solutions is money out of our pockets but a great stimulator of our economy. Reducing our use through better technology is probably a much more important step than trying to convince people to stop using what they have been using for decades. It's like asking them to poop in bags to save water.
Lag in what regards? Most useful apps are now finally on par with IOS and Android ones.
The rest of the phone is just a phone. The one thing that works for them is the fact that their developer base is HUGE since all code crosses over platforms minus interfaces (For obvious reasons).
Which is also why a 1" 22 gauge angle iron is stronger than a 16 gauge flat bar. You need to take the bends into account. Just using a thicker material will help and introducing embossing can also help make the phone sturdier.
There are different aluminum alloys. As far as I can see they could go for a either a thicker alloy or a different one all together. Cost wise it makes sense to stick to aluminum alloys. Graphite and titanium are both very expensive and graphite is not easily recycled which could make it a problem in some countries.
In many cases regulations actually promote business as they create new requirements, changes in process or limitations that need to be overcome. It's especially good for the tech fields as it sometimes requires system changes. E.g. Our factory had to spend $100k in extra safety equipment due to changes in regulations.
Some regulations are BS but many are reasonable and are in many cases accepted by the majority population.

We even do it to ourselves when we buy life insurance.
Let the flood gates open.

You guys/gals keep bringing up the same NSA jokes... I'm bored...

Just a wild guess here:
1. You run Linux
2. You're still in school

I wasn't making reference to Metro because in that case it would probably be ok.

How dare you bring Ford into this.

I agree.
If it skips Windows 9 I'm sure the next OS will have it. Only makes sense.
You had bad fragmentation on Windows 7 using NTFS?
On my last AMD box running Windows 7, Team Fortress 2 would load within 10 seconds... How much time do you need to save?
