Opera Launches Facial Gesture Capability

cstrep writes "Eight years ago, Opera introduced Mouse Gestures as a way to speed up your interaction with the browser, and focus on what's important: Content. In 2005, Voice Navigation was introduced, and more recently we've worked with Nintendo to create a browser that takes full advantage of the 'Wiimote' and later, the touchscreen in the DSi. Today Opera introduces Face Gestures, a revolutionary technology designed to make interacting with Opera easier on computers with cameras. Face Gestures lets you perform frequent browsing operations with natural and easy to make face gestures. By using an internal technology dubbed 'Face Observation Opera Language,' we are able to recognize pre-determined facial expressions and match them to commands on the Opera browser."

OK, discuss the ethical ramifications of this one:

I am up for a promotion at work. My cheap-bastard boss's boss is holding it up because he thinks he'll get a gold star for saving the money, and probably won't let it go through until he has my resignation letter in hand. I don't want it to come to that.

I'm a sysadmin and I rarely wear anything but blue jeans to work. My April Fool's joke is that I told them I was taking this morning off to "take care of some personal business". I'm going to show up at lunchtime in a dress shirt and suit pants, letting them believe that my "personal business" was an interview. They'll see through it quickly, but I want that half-second of panic to stick.

Discuss.

This thing [slashdot.org]. (See The April Fool - 2nd from the bottom of the list.)

I'm confused now, though. A lot of people seem to think the achievement is for posting in the story about achievements [slashdot.org] rather than this one.
