I would dump it in a heartbeat, but it’s a good way to keep up with family in different parts of the country. Plus I have yet to find anything that works as well as the Events feature.

It still sucks and is a POS, but it has it’s uses.

I took the picture at a conference in Berlin.

Ah! That explains why I can’t find it.

I don’t type German!

Every TV in the sportsbar where you go for a drink will have cameras and mics and will capture your image and process it through facial-recognition software and capture your speech and pass it back to a server for continu­ous speech recognition (to check whether you’re giving it a voice command).

Aside from the obvious bad idea of voice-activated TVs in a sports bar, to what end? Bars already have security cameras.

They have them in the closed system of Pinterest? WTF, Free your data? They use a site that seems to require a login to view images?

Edit: they do have the images for download at the bottom of the “press kit” page:

They aren’t tied to either the TV manufacturer or the “Channel” being watched – now HBO knows that you hang out at Hooters almost every Thursday night.
