I do enjoy these YouTube videos and the HP computer, well, how shall I say, yes, indeed, I think the computer needs to speak its piece if we want to hear the full side of the story.  And yet...well, artificial intelligence, you see, it is not nearly where it might be and who can be blamed for this but the robots who create computers who were themselves created by robots?  When I first began writing poetry in the 1930's, or was it earlier, I was sure we would live to see the day when computers could say "How are you, L.P. Forneaux" but these days, they tend to mispronounce it, rather like "L.P. Fornay" or some such.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[l.p. forneaux]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 23rd 2009 2:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hewlett-Packard in Hot Water With 'Racist' Face-Tracking Webcams]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/22/hewlett-packard-in-hot-water-with-racist-face-tracking-webcams/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/22/hewlett-packard-in-hot-water-with-racist-face-tracking-webcams/</guid><description><![CDATA[Oh good GOD.

Shouldn't people be happy that the lens is staring at the white person when she enters the room and not the black person.  I  would say this is one politically correct lens.  LOL!  Secondly, I think people take this stuff way too seriously.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dpreocanin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 23rd 2009 3:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hewlett-Packard in Hot Water With 'Racist' Face-Tracking Webcams]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/22/hewlett-packard-in-hot-water-with-racist-face-tracking-webcams/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/22/hewlett-packard-in-hot-water-with-racist-face-tracking-webcams/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is sort of like the better off ted episode...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Xyre7]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 23rd 2009 3:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hewlett-Packard in Hot Water With 'Racist' Face-Tracking Webcams]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/22/hewlett-packard-in-hot-water-with-racist-face-tracking-webcams/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/22/hewlett-packard-in-hot-water-with-racist-face-tracking-webcams/</guid><description><![CDATA[Tiger would like this only follows white women]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[hpbnn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 23rd 2009 3:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hewlett-Packard in Hot Water With 'Racist' Face-Tracking Webcams]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/22/hewlett-packard-in-hot-water-with-racist-face-tracking-webcams/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/22/hewlett-packard-in-hot-water-with-racist-face-tracking-webcams/</guid><description><![CDATA[That is just like an episode of Better Off Ted on ABC Tuesdays at 9:30p.The episode called Racial Sensitivity in which it had the same problem of not seeing black people.

It is probably a software problem. Im sure HP isnt racist they only see one color and that would be green. Think about why would they want to isolate themselves from blacks. It does not monetarily make scense. If you think they did this on porpose you are looking for a reason to cry racism. Joke or not this is how our world is today.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Christy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 23rd 2009 3:54PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hewlett-Packard in Hot Water With 'Racist' Face-Tracking Webcams]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/22/hewlett-packard-in-hot-water-with-racist-face-tracking-webcams/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/22/hewlett-packard-in-hot-water-with-racist-face-tracking-webcams/</guid><description><![CDATA[I am wondering why they are doing this in a mirror? If you look closely their names in their shirts and the other signs in the background are invereted. I wonder if this could have soemthing to do with the recognition problem.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[worldwidepiinc]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 23rd 2009 3:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hewlett-Packard in Hot Water With 'Racist' Face-Tracking Webcams]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/22/hewlett-packard-in-hot-water-with-racist-face-tracking-webcams/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/22/hewlett-packard-in-hot-water-with-racist-face-tracking-webcams/</guid><description><![CDATA[Okay, its quite ridiculous to consider this racist. It's obvious (to anyone who has worked with any video/camera equipment) that its a technical issue related to low light and contrast. He is obviously way darker than she is, and that is something that the camera itself should have registered. Instead of considering this racist, it should be considered a faulty problem on what im assuming was an over priced laptop or computer.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[docdrew23]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 23rd 2009 4:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hewlett-Packard in Hot Water With 'Racist' Face-Tracking Webcams]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/22/hewlett-packard-in-hot-water-with-racist-face-tracking-webcams/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/22/hewlett-packard-in-hot-water-with-racist-face-tracking-webcams/</guid><description><![CDATA[You idiots!!!  He didn't say he was suing HP!!  AND he was laughing!!  He realizes that it was a problem that HP should be aware of.  He obviously was joking when he said that the computer was racist!  Some of you just cannot comprehend humor and irony.  A lot of you are getting worked up for nothing!<br>Gee Whiz people!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[wellonssmoov54]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 23rd 2009 4:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hewlett-Packard in Hot Water With 'Racist' Face-Tracking Webcams]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/22/hewlett-packard-in-hot-water-with-racist-face-tracking-webcams/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/22/hewlett-packard-in-hot-water-with-racist-face-tracking-webcams/</guid><description><![CDATA[You're right Sabrina!  I'm still trying to figure out, who's screaming racism.  The white woman or the black guy?  If it's not following the black guy, it must mean that he can get away with stealing something, RIGHT?  She's the one the camera is watching!  So why would the black guy scream racism?  It's not targeting him!  It's targeting her!!  You'd think the black guy would be HAPPY!!  Is this just one of those stories MEANT to bring racial remarks out of the woodwork??]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[CINDY]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 23rd 2009 4:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hewlett-Packard in Hot Water With 'Racist' Face-Tracking Webcams]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/22/hewlett-packard-in-hot-water-with-racist-face-tracking-webcams/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/22/hewlett-packard-in-hot-water-with-racist-face-tracking-webcams/</guid><description><![CDATA[In a country where we finally have an african american as the president there can be no more racism.
