+Title: TV with face recognition, for improved viewer experience

+<p>Slashdot got a story about Intel planning a
+<a href="http://entertainment.slashdot.org/story/12/06/09/0012247/intel-to-launch-tv-service-with-facial-recognition-by-end-of-the-year">TV
+with face recognition</a> to recognise the viewer, and it occurred to
+me that it would be more interesting to turn it around, and do face
+recognition on the TV image itself.  It could let the viewer know who
+is present on the screen, and perhaps look up their credibility,
+company affiliation, previous appearances etc for the viewer to better
+evaluate what is being said and done.  That would be a feature I would
+be willing to pay for.</p>

+<p>I would not be willing to pay for a TV that point a camera on my
+household, like the big brother feature apparently proposed by Intel.
+It is an idea fetched straight out of the book 1984 by George
+Orwell.</p>
