Face Reading Machine Can Tell If You’re Happy Or Bored

Face Reading Machine Can Tell If You’re Happy Or BoredCan someone read you like a book? If you have answered in the affirmative, then our advice to you would be to steer clear of future webcams, as there is a new kind of technology that has been developed and is undergoing testing, which touts to be able to tell through your facial expressions whether you are happy, sad, bored or enthralled. With this particular technology, companies are able to figure out your reaction to online advertisements, and tweak things from there.

This form of biometric tracking will rely on a standard webcam in order to map out one’s facial expressions – with your permission, of course, before it is processed and a slew of results are shown to the client. Such technology is being used at the moment to map just how volunteers react to big budget advertising campaigns, right before they are launched, so that last minute changes can be made if required. The BBC even held an informal experiment with developer Realeyes for Radio 4′s consumer programme You & Yours, measuring the emotions of 150 Radio 4 listeners, and came up with some interesting results. The thing is, is the algorithm that interprets one’s emotion accurate enough in the long run?

    Lexibook Laptab Hybrid Device For Kids

    Lexibook Laptab Hybrid Device For KidsKids love following the examples of their parents, which is why the classic “do as I say, and not as I do” mantra does not work very well at all with them – far from it, in fact. Should your little one see you toting around a tablet, he or she will most probably ask you for one, and that was when you decided to get them something more kid-friendly that can withstand the rigors of life with a 5-year old. However, when you bring home one of those shiny new hybrid notebook-tablets, finding a model that can withstand the inquisitive hands of a 5-year old might be a little bit tough. Enter the Lexibook Laptab, which happens to be a small computer that is not too different from a netbook in its form factor, although it runs on the Android operating system, sports a touchscreen display, and a hinge which allows you to fold the screen flat and use it like a tablet.

    It is not the best tablet or notebook in the market, but it gets the job done in keeping your little ones happy, where it will retail for approximately £149.99 in the UK. Hardware specifications for this convertible notebook include a 7” display at 800 x 480 resolution, 4GB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot, 10/100 Ethernet and 802.11b/g Wi-Fi connectivity, and a 2800mAh battery, with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and educational apps, games and eBooks in tow.

    Acer DA241HL/Gateway N1-2400 Hits The FCC

    Acer DA241HL/Gateway N1 2400 Hits The FCCJust in case you feel a little bit confused by the title that concerns what seems to be two different devices, fret not – they are basically one and the same, where the Acer DA241HL, also known as the Gateway N1-2400, has already arrived at the FCC, which points to the very real possibility of said all-in-one desktop is well on its way to the US. Chances are should it arrive Stateside, it would most probably be sold under the Acer brand name, while the Gateway name would be used in markets where perception of said brand ranks higher than Acer. After all, Gateway does belong to Acer after the Taiwanese company picked it up in 2007 for approximately $710 million.

    What looks like an ordinary desktop computer monitor takes on a different form factor when you look at it from a different angle – speakers are located under the display, while audio, USB and SD card ports happen to be located around the sides. Underneath the hood lies a processor, storage, and all the essentials required to run Google’s Android mobile operating system. So far, leaked benchmark results point to a 1920 x 1080 pixel display, an NVIDIA Tegra 3 ARM Cortex-A9 quad-core processor, and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean on board, but that has yet to be finalized. Needless to say, pricing details are also unknown, and this is not the first time a device comes with either the possibility of an Acer or Gateway branding, which would be market dependent.

    Acer to slow Microsoft focus while increasing Chromebook and Android production

    Acer has felt the squeeze brought on by ever-decreasing PC shipments, something that has affected more than a few companies. Eschewing PCs, consumers are gravitating in larger numbers towards mobile devices, particularly tablets, something that resulted in a poor second quarter for the company. In light of this, Acer’s president stated that the company will […]

    Man Steals Computer From Church, Asks If They'll Remove Porn Block

    Stealing computers is bad—everybody already knows that. And stealing from a church (or any non-profit institution for that matter) is extra bad. But if you must steal a computer from a church—especially one you’re a member of—don’t call up the software blocking company and ask if they’ll remove the porn filter. As Troy Ridling of Owasso, Oklahoma found out the hard way, you’re not going to like the answer.
