Facial Recognition

One of the more awesome features of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is facial recognition. This new feature allows you to unlock your cell phone just by sticking your face in front of the camera sensor. This sounds like something straight out of the future, but one Android developer found that it may be a quick way for your phone to be hacked. In the video below, this reviewer shows that your phone can actually be opened with just a picture of your face. Maybe it's best to stick with a good old-fashioned passcode from here on out?

Opposite personalities may attract, but so do physical look-alikes. Yes, not only are we attracted to people who look like us, but we're attracted to people who resemble our opposite-sex parents. Personally, I think people just run in homogeneous circles and familiarity breeds comfortableness, but science disagrees. It's not just about hair and eye color or personal style, but facial structure.

FindYourFaceMatch.com is a dating site prepping to launch next month (its URL doesn't even work yet) that's like a celebrity doppelgänger generator meets every other dating site. Instead of starting with your interests, it begins with facial-recognition technology by Face.com, which focuses on nine points of the face — eyes, ears, nose, chin, and the corners and center of the mouth. It then runs your stats through Find Your Face Match's database and voilà! A list of eligible bachelors who resemble you awaits.

Afterward, you can weed out look-alike duds by doing the standard dating-site search for shared values and style. Then you and your twin can go see if you have more in common than the distance between your eyes.

Sound like a gimmick, or is it worth a try?
