Does anyone else find this extremely fucking creepy?

  Creepy? No, why? I wonder about the battery draw of constantly running the front camera and doing face recognition, but if that's not an issue I don't see any downside. I wish my own phone did it. Even if it uses some power, it might be a net improvement for some people who would set their screen timeout to very long durations otherwise. I'm sure that is even more of an issue for a device with such a humongous screen -- it'll take you twice as long to read an entire screen of information.

    Apparently it doesn't run the camera constantly: it wakes up to take a single shot immediately before the screen turns off.

  Not at all; it sounds awesome. On my SII, I either have to constantly adjust the timeout manually or tap the screen every 50 seconds or so while browsing or playing a game that requires thinking. Either is really annoying.

  I'm not sure about this, but I think it recognizes a face, not your face, so I don't see anything creepy about it.
