Nice work, Facebook.
Facebook users will soon have to deal with the social network behemoth using facial recognition to identify pictures of you for your friends to tag.
Good luck with it!
(In case you missed it, it's not my dog or my hands. In fact, it's from Brazil, a descendant of a stud dog I sold many years ago. There are literally dozens of show dogs tagged with my name across Facebook for similar reasons.)
Bob in Edmonton - "... facial recognition was just one of the mind-numbing list of features on our cheap new digital camera. since most of the snapshots I take are of the dogs, theirs were the first faces I tried. it recognizes the shih tzu, but not the lhasa. go figure."
It makes one wonder when Twitter will adopt p***s-recognition technology.
Wow, nice legs!
If the tail was a teensy weensy bit longer, it would be easier to hold.
Before anyone tries to "friend" me, I use Facebook for my dog related connections, so I'm going to ignore your request. But as 99% of my friends are also tagged as Miniature Schnauzers, that "recognition" software should have its work cut out for it.
The security issue is getting just nuts -- I discovered that someone pirated my email address last week to open both a YouTube and Google account. And the problem with Google is they hold you financially responsible for transactions done using your Email.
Anyway, I simply "hijacked" the accounts back, locked out the "pirate", then deleted the accounts -- thankfully before he/she could do any damage. But the kids don't have a clue.
Even with liberal buisness its all about controling you.
One more reason for NOT being on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and other social networking platforms where personal information is stored. There's something about Mark Zuckerberg that gives me pause...perhaps his insider status with Barack Obama's White House?
Gmail accounts are no longer secure, either, especially since Google bought YouTube.
They're going to get you with hand recognition Kate. ~:D
Facebook plainly told you when you signed up, that they own everything you post. You have no "Rights" to any picture you put up, they do. They can use it in a commercial or use it for fun and profit.
the prob. with the current generation is they don't read the fine print because after 12 years of primary and secondary edjukashun they still can't read.
world gubbamint here we come !!!
Not my hands - it's a dog in Brazil. I think I bred its grandfather.
A future friend?

I saw one of little doggies in a hot car yesterday, poor little fella was melting I placed my finger on the window and he placed his wee head on my finger. The owner came out and caught me, I told her I don't care how short of a time you are in a store it's to freaking hot to leave the dog in a closed up vehicle. The Weiner guy looks like one of those hot dog dogs, doesn't he?

That's an old quote.
A Toronto police officer got it while questioning an employee of a massage parlour back in 1996...
s.n.p. - you ever seen a neglected dog? I don't mean even an abused dog, just a normal, semi-feral type-o-dog of the sort that live in packs near people all over the world? The emaciated ones with limps and open sores? Ever seen a wild animal?
So Kate's dog got his fur shaved. So shocking, idiot.
(Yes, Kate's dog's grandpuppy. And not Kate's man-hands.)
s.n.p.
I echo Mamba's take on your stupid comment. The pic is of a show dog. Period. That type of grooming is part of the biz...some are into it, some are not. That's why Baskin & Robbins has 32 flavours.
The dog pictured is a beautiful dog, although the breed is not necessarily my cup of tea. I am a golden retriever type, which gives rise to the sign in our kitchen to the effect that "In This House, Dog Hair Is Considered A Condiment".
Point being...don't mock things you apparently know nothing about.
Never rise the ire of Dog owners, especially in off leash areas.
Well, to be fair, a lot of Lefties think Kate is a total B!t*h
JK! I love Kate! Really I do!
Funny looking cat, if you ask me. :-)
(Currently tagging all of my photos with "Jack Layton" to help out Facebook's new software.)
I saw stuff like this coming 20 years ago as an early teen. That's why I used to have a conniption whenever looking at the comment box on someone's webpage. Mind you, now that I'm over the debilitating anxiety attacks, I still am careful never to say anything to anyone on the net that could come back to kick me in the pants.
"Not my hands - it's a dog in Brazil."
D'OH!
I thought that t-shirt was draping kinda wrong...
