Are facial expressions part of sign language? I thought not, but this guy uses them so vigorously and passionately.

One cool thing about sign language is that all the "voice expression" has to be performed physically - your facial expressions ARE your emphasis, humor, sarcasm, etc. Kids who speak sign language are uninhibited, AND required to be really physical - if you EVER get a chance, go to some deaf theatre or a deaf speech competition at some point. They're AMAZING.

Fuck the facial expressions, she is awesome!

Yeah his facial expressions and speech patterns are the typical "how to speak in public" formula. He's still not as bad to me as Ira Glass, which is like listening to fingernails on a chalkboard. Hipster fingernails on a chalkboard, that also talk down to you.

Every who says she danced at better at 'Day 136' obviously has no formal dance experience (which is not a 'diss' or anything) or knowledge of body isolation. She has learned to control much more of her body by 'Day 365'. Day 165 is a simple hand tutting routine that any average person can learn in a day (plus the waist groove-pointing thing). Day 365 she has constant body movement, and better facial expressions (which most beginner dancers are extremely scared to do since they are nervous that people are judging).

The new Kinect has significant upgrades from the Kinect Accessory that's out now (for Xbox 360). This wiki page has a good overview: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinect#Kinect_on_the_Xbox_One

This video uses both (new one for the always-on controversy) and old one for the beer-robot. Which is OK, cause it's a comedy piece.

The first Kinect could do facial detection to login to a xbox live account, but it requires good lighting, and isn't very fast (for me, it could never get past calibration, so I don't use that feature- games work fine without it). The new one is supposed to do this (login) better, but also detects facial expressions in real time, like if the player is smiling.

"Man cooking at regular speed" wins award for best facial expression in the "Indian man making omelets at regular speed in a road-side stall at night" category. There was 1 entry this year and it won by a landslide.

(All wet cat facial expressions are funny)
Bitch-slap the owner of the cat maybe and chastise the news anchor for laughing at what? I know poor kitty hates life in her floaty but her cat-loving, orally-imprinted and likely obese OWNER is the asshole here....

*edit Oh my GAWWWWD and using the word clearly in writ or statement sounds so FUCKING sophomorically smug and pretentious....

What is "clear" anyhow, hmm?? Cleeeearly you have a clue! (See how fucking inane that shit sounds??)

This reminds me of oceans 13 where they had a supercomputer monitoring a person's heart rate and facial expressions to determine if gambling wins were legitimate or not. For as good as something like this is shown, I hope it doesn't have a bad side that opens up ethical use questions.

have to admit, I like the juggler analogy to RAM

It's funny that you say times have changed though. The fundamentals really haven't changed. the types of RAM and the types of storage, and the types of processors have changed, but you still need RAM, you still need storage, you still need a processor and they still interact in fundamentally the same way.

What's depressing though is that the average person's response to trying to learn some of those fundamentals is still the same as this woman's reactions in 1996. I am so familiar with the same kind of facial expressions on my users as that woman gave.
