Having realtime facial recognition at conferences, for example, would make my life a lot easier. This is an advantage? This is what you're willing to give up your privacy for?

This is incorrect. Read the entire post and realize that Facebook has been using Face.com's tech for facial tagging already.

Perhaps due to the fact that automatic face detection is an invasion of privacy.

Sorry for the late reply. I remember reading an article (That I cannot seem to find at the moment) about US border agents stopping a Cartel submarine dead in its tracks. What they found is a minimalistic submarine, capable of transporting a

I remember Facebook recently implemented their controversial Face detecting module. Privacy advocates were freaked out because Facebook was trying to automatically tag people in photos simply based on face recognition. I assume they're goin

Thank you. I was clicking everywhere trying to see why I wasn't seeing any 'lighting'. The author should put a Chrome-only warning on the front page.

Not quite. I think the author was focusing more on any company that you have a stake in and can redirect its focus. Technically, as long as you're a director of operations, you can redirect the company's vision any way you please. Just hope

I keep telling folks that invest in the stock market that they're playing a game...their game. I find that gambling in stocks is more dangerous than playing the lottery once a week. Some will argue with me and tell me that 'if you work hard

Numerous drug submarines have been uncovered since the article was written. It seems that they are badly made, some sink, others just break down. I found their software engineering to be much more advanced than their submarines.

A lot of folks don't want to acknowledge this fact but many businesses operate this way. Most internet startups have low or no barriers to entry, so they can get an idea off the ground really quickly.

His fear stems from the fact that most people believe they have a right to the Internet and are essentially anonymous. To respond to your hellfire missile analogy, if I am in Canada or the US, I'm not worrying about it but if I'm in the mid

I don't necessarily agree with your stance because you still haven't materialized official court cases dealing with this issue. I would like to see a case where Monsanto was sued for seed contamination and the farmer won the case.

I would perhaps expect shuttles to have greater ease of launching and landing on Earth. After about 10 successful runs I would say we can mark the start of private space exploration. This is the beginning but nothing is certain at the momen

I would argue that memorization for a lot of 'useless' constants is in fact, useless. We had the same curriculum in Romania during the communist era, where Ceausescu forced everyone to memorize as many trigonometric functions as possible an
