Wow, the fact that you can’t see that it was clearly meant tongue in cheek says a lot about you. The smiling and laughing and light-hearted tone wasn’t enough for you? To see an angry “knee-jerk” victimized black man in _that_ video is astonishing to me. You’re seeing what you think all black people are like rather than what was actually in front of you. And that, my friend, is racist.

What a hoot. GrappySoftware is what GrappySoftware does.

One of the best videos on racism says:

This is proof that technology is racist, thus technology cannot be used in any area of government where it can be shown that the technology is violating the law of the land. In this particular case it is clear, the technology is flawed and thus would open up anyone using it to lawsuits.

I think for the camera to work right you have to adjust the *white* balance.

John E. Quantum says:

You all got it wrong. The camera in the video was set on “fugly”.

Why be surprised? HP is known for good hardware and software written by half trained monkeys.

Relik says:

For all you people who can’t understand why it’s mirror image : The software is mirroring the image so people don’t freak out.

If it was not mirrored and it was showing the video live on the screen, when the user went to the left of the computer, they would appear to go to the right on the screen. Think about it.

The camera is facing you and you are facing it, therefore left and right are reversed. If you were to show just that video, the directions would still be reversed. So, you have to mirror it to make it “comfortable” to the user.

#38 mirroring has absolutely nothing to do with why it isn’t tracking him.

[Good point. I never use the cam on my notebook and have never noticed before - ed.]
