Is this really a new product? On the 7'th of July i saw it in a local computer store here in the Czech republic. And i even took a leaflet about it with me home. If it's new, it's quite impressing that things get launched here before the rest of the world...

Opera Launches Facial Gesture Capability 199

cstrep writes "Eight years ago, Opera introduced Mouse Gestures as a way to speed up your interaction with the browser, and focus on what's important: Content. In 2005, Voice Navigation was introduced, and more recently we've worked with Nintendo to create a browser that takes full advantage of the 'Wiimote' and later, the touchscreen in the DSi. Today Opera introduces Face Gestures, a revolutionary technology designed to make interacting with Opera easier on computers with cameras. Face Gestures lets you perform frequent browsing operations with natural and easy to make face gestures. By using an internal technology dubbed 'Face Observation Opera Language,' we are able to recognize pre-determined facial expressions and match them to commands on the Opera browser."

"I sat there myself and downloaded 'Death Magnetic' from the Internet just to try it," he said. "I was like, 'Wow, this is how it works.' I figured if there is anybody that has a right to download 'Death Magnetic' for free, it's me." Is it too much to hope for that the RIAA catches wind of this and serves him with a lawsuit?"

One of the big things that is hard to settle is the credit risk. A phone operator bills the customer and there is a non zero risk that the customer won't be able to pay his bill. This is one of the issues with paying with your phone.
