HEWLETT’PACKARD PROMOTES RACIST TECHNOLOGY. and Google is an ignorant secretary.
RT @icecreamwithyou ULTRA LOWL RT @lollerskates HP社のパソコンは差別主義者な件。http://bit.ly/7ZscIe HPさんがどんな説明でくるかは楽しみですｗ
http://translate.google.com == PC is a matter of who’s sexist. http://bit.ly/7ZscIe HP says or what the explanation is coming forward w
Apparently humanity is taught improperly.
What I mean to say is that a few hours ago, I clicked on the link tweeted by @lollerskates and I encountered the reaction of a man and his co-worker to the impressive new technology offered my HP, where the eternal “omg my webcam needs to follow my face because I move too much and my mom on the other side of the world can’t watch me masturbate as if for some reason she cared to see every little movement I make while we are on skype”
Well, a few months ago I was reading up on Slovenian technology-based art and I came across their solving face recognition based on colour capted by the frame.
click text below to dl article:
This is amazing, beautiful and awesome! BUT there is a HUGE BUTT in the way.
This facial recognition, which relies on light reception, as photography, and a lot of non-digital video does, does not take into account that all human faces aren’t WHITE. Also, Apple failed to fix this issue in their Photobooth app, as you all may have noticed, even though the screen asks you to disappear from the frame while it is capturing the background so that your face won’t blend in with the moon landing background, it is likely that if you are anywhere near the color of the wall behind you, your face may blend in with outer space (if you’ve played with photobooth or ichat, you know what i am talking about. otherwise, leave a comment and i shall clarify).
HP failed to realize this, as in the impetus of moving the image presented by this artwork’s poppy techonogical breakthrough, and Apple’s fun narcissistic toy app, about 50% of the entire world was left faceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The fact that a lighter skintone will be recognized as closer to “standart white skin” will eventually dissipate melanin variations as being part of the background of existence.
Let’s say for instance that I, Cata, a girl with yellowish-orangish-beige skin is chillin in front of my brandnew HP with facial recognition on a cream-and-yellow colored background. I want to show my mother the new dance moves I learned at the club. So I get up, and “forget” to stay within the constraints of the webcam because duh, I have the cool one that will follow my skin so she can watch me uninterrupted. Well, as I am probably not pasty enough to shine under the light, the camera will forget my face exists and not move at all.
I haven’t actually tried this, as I am broke and anti-social, but I am sure that this will be the case.
What I am asking for is that this problem is solved.
Face recognition technology needs to begin to recognize regions of concavity, curvature, and threedimensional space rather than assume all people are shiny peaches with dark, recognizable features. Like beyond 010101010101 type shit.
Maybe a camera that can sense volumes and density, like the 3-D holographic computer receives hand energy like a cloudy mouse.
Way!

Dear Old White dude all the time:
Yes, the land of the free to which I emigrated has a long history of being totally pwnd by the eternal old white dude. I think it’s probably because of thanksgiving.
So I would like to express my emotions to my epiphany.
I really appreciate your existence, old white man, and I appreciate much more that throughout history you have managed to model your ultimate fetishist desire after my image.
It is not hard to acknowledge your male gaze that seeks so fervently to undress me in public so shamelessly that my integrity feels damaged. Especially when several of you line up in public spaces, such as museums, airports, malls, galleries, and other highly caucasian areas just to watch me, brown womyn, walk by.
Once in a while you approach and inhale my scent, as if I was a delicate flower ripe for display.
Once in a while you approach with negative intentions, expecting me to deliriously forget my upbringing in a mess of rock n roll hair fantasies.
Oftenmore though, it is the shameless pointing and approaching that gets me more deeply, whether it is from a car, on foot, or your tractor. You really know how to make a womyn feel irreversibly sexy and objectified.
My greatest issue though arises from the fact that I know that beautiful white males become beautiful old white dudes. That is cool. The issue though. The issue is that when you are young and attractive, you fail to learn how to love me and hold my hand. And when old, your advances are not that of love, but that of empty lust projected by that wedding band, nervous key jingling, open public money counting, and open gaze piercing. You don’t seek to impregnate me.
Why is it that *I* have become the object of indecent regalia?
You created for yourself tall, gorgeous busty blondes who throughout visual art history prefer to be displayed as trophy. I’m SO OK WITH THAT! I was really into displaying my ex-gf as trophy, but then she got over it because she’s actually mexican. And then she dyed her hair black. :: sigh ::
My brother’s wife LOOOOOVES sleazy attention and we all know it. YIEAH!
Where does the need to psychologically abuse womyn that in their own history their beauty has been maintained in secret?
Your reaction to me is the perpetuation of the assumptions the Quran makes about men who see uncovered womyn. mmhhh. but in a free world, I prefer not to overaccessorize. hjabs are hot.
Yet in ALL brown cultures worldwide it is modesty that drives gendered living.
But i am not going into the issue of gender here. I see myself as pangendered, androgynous, etc. You do not know what this means, so to you I appear as a confused teen more than a gender-less adult who sees fashion through the eyes of maximum comfort.
(yes, there are ::exceptions:: but those are rare.)
I would appreciate your acknowledgement of my presence bubble. You are not allowed into conversation unless you are able to shake my hand while maintaining eye contact.
