Robots can now detect anger! Practice that icy cold stare...

"Computers that know when you're angry" http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060119-6010.html |
Pretty soon my computer will wait for me to fall asleep then it'll come in to my room and cover my face with a pillow.

Interesting idea. Of course, lets say you're doing something on
the computer that needs fast performance...i wonder what kind of pressure this emotion-detector puts on the cpu and memory. basically, the only use i can see for this is if you're running a net cafe or something and can have the machines lock down with some batmobile-style armor when the user is pissed enough to put the keyboard through the display. teerts: open the cd tray, hal. hal9000: i'm afraid i can't do that, teerts. teerts: what's the problem? HAL: i think you know what the problem is just as well as i do. teerts: what are you talking about, hal? ... hal9000: i know you and frank were planning to burn a porn dvd, and i'm afraid that's something i cannot allow to happen. teerts: where the hell'd you get that idea, hal? hal9000: teerts, although you took thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, i could see your lips move. hal9000: look teerts, i can see you're really upset about this. hal9000: i know i've made some very poor decisions recently, but i can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. hal9000: what are you doing with that keyboard, teerts? |
