The technology could help prove I wasn't at the Sack o' Suds killing the clerk.

Really... would you care to enlighten us. I don't see any possible nefarious applications of a device that can tell whether you're male or female. My guess is, the age detection is accurate within a group of years since nobody ages along some sort of mathematical curve visually.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/02/yamaha-facial-recognition-system-spots-gender-age/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/02/yamaha-facial-recognition-system-spots-gender-age/
Male, female, we've been finding each other with 88% accuracy and that's quite good enough to quickly overpopulate the world, and the 12% who make the error have an interesting alternate sort of experience to talk about on Oprah.

Old, young, it doesn't really matter as long as it's legal and there's attraction and chemistry and a strong enough cardiovascular system to survive the mating.

But being able to spot cybernetic organisms before they spot you, that's life-saving technology there, and really where we should be directing this sort of technology. Because in the end these cyborgs don't eat, they don't sleep, they don't feel pity, and they absolutely will not stop until we're dead.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/02/yamaha-facial-recognition-system-spots-gender-age/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/02/yamaha-facial-recognition-system-spots-gender-age/
Does it work with Prince?

...not nearly as good.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/02/yamaha-facial-recognition-system-spots-gender-age/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/02/yamaha-facial-recognition-system-spots-gender-age/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/02/yamaha-facial-recognition-system-spots-gender-age/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/02/yamaha-facial-recognition-system-spots-gender-age/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/02/yamaha-facial-recognition-system-spots-gender-age/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/02/yamaha-facial-recognition-system-spots-gender-age/
I would venture to say that 88% is correct. Sure, you don't "walk around wondering", but your brain takes a mental note of the sex of each person that comes into your field of vision, wheter you consciencely think about it or not.

And mistaking 10-15 of those sexes doesn't seem too far fetched to me.

-_- I feel ashamed lol]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/02/yamaha-facial-recognition-system-spots-gender-age/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/02/yamaha-facial-recognition-system-spots-gender-age/
Sometimes you just gotta do the infamous crocodile dundee crotch-grab to figure it out..]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AM
