Face detection is becoming more common in still photographs but the technology has yet failed to support video footage. Google is looking to break into this brand of technology and has filed a patent application. The Google technology will use a series of video frames to generate clusters of facial representations which are associated with any person. By understanding what someone looks like from any given angle, Google could then associate a name to whenever that person is recognised in a video clip. The technology is sophisticated enough to handle differences in lighting, shadows and faces at any conceivable angle. The technology will offer an added option to YouTube, offering the ability to tag whoever appears in a single video. No more claiming the video where you ran naked through a crowd of people wasn't you - the technology will prove otherwise and tag you. Consider it a blessing or a curse, but the technology looks sure to be integrated into Google's products in the near future.

A new prototype house walked around the campus of the Wysing Arts Centre in Cambridgeshire, England. The eco-friendly house is powered by solar cells and minature windmills, and comes with a kitchen, a composting toilet, a system for collecting rain water, one bed, a wood stove for CO2 neutral heating, a rear opening that forms a stairway entrance, and six legs. A collaborative effort between MIT and the Danish design collective N55, the house walks about five kilometers an hour similar to the walking speed of a human.

The house can turn, move forward or backwards, or change height as required and can be programmed with GPS waypoints for travelling to destinations.
