Microsoft's new http://how-old.net/ website: impressive facial recognition


Recommended Posts

That site is addicting. Although it seems to stop playing tracks if the window is minimized, or if I go to a different browser tab.

 

This almost blew my mind: http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/index.html?trid=TRQDXXM13AFAB66B3F

Yeah I know what you mean, I listened to the same Kesha song for far too long, which was about 30 seconds  :D .

 

Yeah I'll pull out that one window on its own, then not minimize it but put other windows on top and it keeps playing.  It is some kind of limitation with chrome windows that lose priority.

There's a few of us at NI -- in several different products -- that saw this trend a couple years ago when Adobe first started trying it out; we preemptively raised objections to LabVIEW moving in that direction,

 

So you might want to occasionally mention to Field Sales, "You know, I really like owning my own software." Express not just objections but also advantages with the current situation. Doing so will help keep the allergy strong!

 

+1.
