Google Sort of Enables Face Recognition When Searching Images

The things that Google comes up with are pretty scary. The Street View on Google Maps is pretty cool, but it’s starting to feel a lot like Big Brother around here. It appears that when searching for images you now have the ability to get pictures of just faces by adding this tid-bit to your search, “&imgtype=face”. Voila, stalking on the internet has gotten that much easier. I apologize if anyone has an epileptic seizure because of the image.

I agree with the premise - that Google comes up with some scary stuff - but they didn’t actually come up with street view. Just sayin’.

Yeah, I seem to remember Google buying some company that made image recognition software a while ago.

But, then again, who /hasn’t/ Google bought still?
