Early reviews of Microsoft's Kinect facial recognition feature suggest that the motion-sensing camera does not work properly with some darker-skinned users. GameSpot's U.K. site unsuccessfully tested Kinect's features with two dark-skinned employees, while white reviewers had no problem using facial recognition.

This is probably the dumbest thing I've read all day today.

	I hate that it's "is it racist?" No, it's not. It's just common knowledge that a camera uses light so if you're dark skinned the light may not reflect properly for the camera to sense it. It's not racist, it's just a miscalculation. (Reply to this)

	Also, "MarkBeers says: Thu Nov 04 06:45:31 PDT 2010 Maybe they just need to hire some white people to follow them around. Easy fix." BEST COMMENT EVER. Mostly because it's a reference to Better Off Ted. (Reply to this)(Thread)
