As most of you undoubtedly don’t care, my life lately has been devoted to a loving mistress and superlative technology blog called Engadget. This is a post that I wrote today only to find out that it was already covered — in April. Not exactly news anymore, is it? Still, it’s fun, so I though I’d share it with the 3.2 visitors I get to this site each and every month.
Smile detection for your camera is one thing — but if you’re in the "smiling business," as they say, you’d better have some high tech kit to keep your employees in line.

Perfect gear for service industries, or any organization that wants to regiment and control every aspect of your life — including the way your mouth is hangin’. Now wipe that stupid smile off your face and get back to work!
