Facedeals checks you into places using a camera and Facebook facial recognition software
Detailed within a blog post created by the RedPepper invention lab, a team of developers has created a way for businesses to automatically send deals to customers that walk into the front door. Using facial recognition technology, customer faces are scanned using the Facedeals camera box. Assuming that the customer has already authorized the Facedeals app on their Facebook account, the camera automatically checks the customer into the business. In addition, Facedeals scans your history of Facebook likes and customizes a deal based on those likes.

Well, understanding that I have no facebook page myself... one good reason is because maybe some people don't want a complete stranger coming up to them, addressing them by their name perhaps = like they're fucking best buds from way back - and offering them shit they have no intention of buying!

Shit, I stopped frequenting any retail/restaurant business that asks for my name as part of a cash and carry deal (so fuck you, Starbucks!).

OR

Just the idea that corporations are colluding to gain as much info as possible about everyone... to include creating/accessing biometric identification databases... and maybe some people don't want to be part and parcel to such things!

BUT

If you are still a victim of consumerist thinking (I mean really, who the fuck cares about overpriced jeans other than fags and young women?), well good for you... have fun having your entire life spoon fed to you. No need for independent thought... you look good in your Gap jeans!

From RedPepper's website.

"The cameras are standalone devices developed around open source technologies including Raspberry Pi, Arduino, OpenCV and the Facebook Graph API. They can be configured remotely and only require a standard 110 volt wall outlet and a wifi connection."

Forehead or hand?

No.

It's face and fingerprint.

Mark of the beast.

Just think about this for a minute. If facial recognition is so easy each and everyone on here is at risk. The government has your picture. Your picture is on your drivers license.

If facedeals doesn't creep you out, then you are a member of the sheep herd.

Thread: James Holmes Facial Recognition
It is, to me, sad how fast people forget the FOUNDATIONS of our fine country! This country was built by an armed population capable of fending for themselves, and will be lost by couches full of potato-sheeple riding their 52" HD-LEDTV's into the orwellian sunset. :(
