Is Facebook’s Facial Recognition Going Too Far?

The facial recognition feature is technology you may take for granted when you upload images on Facebook. The point of view that I take is technology is only as good as those that use it.

If you are operating a rooted MyTouch 3G then you do not want to miss this ROM. If you have not rooted your MyTouch then what are you waiting for? See my previous post titled How To Root A MyTouch 3G. As you may have gathered I have tried a number of ROMS since I originally rooted my phone and each has its pros and cons. I must say that I have not been happy at all with the Hero ROMS as they seem to slow and the Eclair ROMS I have tried have a number of bugs including the …
