Apple Acquires Polar Rose, Facial Recognition Software. Uh Oh!



Apple has been rumored to have acquired facial recognition software company Polar Rose. The above video shows off some crazy features that I would want on my phone fo sho. The thing is will Apple give it to the people and if so, what will they be doing with this software behind closed doors? There are quite a few cool things about being able to see the public profile information about anyone who gets caught in my iPhone view finder. There are some creepy things about it too.

Don't get me wrong I'm for this. I want this. I need this at times (what's your name again...), but someone will come to use this type of technology in an inappropriate way. Drunken txt's were just the beginning of appropriate mobile phone behavior. Now you can find all about that hot chick at the bar before you ever meet them.

Social media strikes again!
