And that applies to you.

Meh... All they are doing is pinging local devices and pointing out Apple owners. ;)

Ducking and running.

Libloather, I downloaded the app and I took a picture of myself.

I think I love you.

Speaking of Gaydar...my across the street neighbors are two old gay guys (quite wealthy actually)...and they think Romney is sweeeeeet!

They say his walk gives him away. Tall guy...short steps.

Just saying.

“Meh... All they are doing is pinging local devices and pointing out Apple owners. ;)”

LOL, good one.

Seriously, I wonder if it ACTUALLY makes an attempt to perform was it claims to, or is it just a randomizer?

It’s PLAUSIBLE that perhaps an audio analyzer, color analyzer, and some kind of image recognition algorithm could be applied, although what goes on in a human’s gaydar would be very challenging for even IBM’s computer to even begin to emulate.

Maybe RINOism confuses the gaydar. Or, if it’s true, Romney and Obama could out each other.

That’s funny! The mister is looking now, the guys at work will have fun teasing each other with this.

A cool app kiddo turned me onto and I passed to the mister—

Google skymap or Iphone starwalk. Cool stuff!

The mister will have me outside freezing my rear off looking through the telescope, so this app is pretty sweet for him.

Oh God.

I'm gay.

Oh Lord have mercy.

Actually, I think Romney, as a Mormon, is so intensely repressed (like a muslim), that he has no idea who or what he is.

He worked all week and spent all weekend at the Mormon "church."

Romney is a cult member...his free time has been taken.

Introspection...philosophy...the examined life?

Not a Mormon thing!

Well I clicked on the link to see if it would describe how it does what it claims, but I don't see any description. But I think something like this could actually be possible today with a fair amount of accuracy. There are already apps which can take pictures of faces and recognize the person based on photos previously submitted to the app server. Since this site seems to go to a gay dating site, it can search its own photos people upload to see if any match.

There are also, or will soon be apps to do the same thing from images mined from sites like Facebook. If the software can recognize you, it can most likely answer a question like this based on information you have already left on the internet, what comments you have made on websites, which sites you visit, what is in your emails, Facebook posts, etc.

Stay. The. Heck. Away. From. Me!

-- I'm gay. --

It's an open secret that you're a lesbian in a man's body.

Not needed (unless you’re bi-curious or otherwise confused).

I was recently in Florida. One of my co-workers took a short video of our meeting room set when it was empty.

He played it back using an IPhone special FX app, and as we were watching, in the video, an asteroid landed in the middle of the room and blew it up.

After Laz’s most recent revelation, I’m waiting for his trademark “I’d hit it” in response to the picture of whatever that is.

Seriously, I wonder if it ACTUALLY makes an attempt to perform was it claims to, or is it just a randomizer?

I very much doubt that. A device that can do this would have to be an AI with IQ of 6,000.

Seriously, though, even humans - who are probably the best classifiers of other humans - have trouble identifying who is who and when. There are too many factors involved, and a simple still photo will not do much. The behavior of the suspect is far more telling. One day I saw a worker at a fast food place who was talking in medium-high pitch and wearing a rainbow armband. I still have no idea if that creature was originally a man, a woman, or something else. I never saw it there again - perhaps more than one customer was aghast at such behavior and they made it known.

I don’t need that app. I work in West Hollywood and surrounded by these freaks.

[Libloather]

I think I love you.

Not me. (Any and all photos posted by you will be considered at a later date. You do look just like Farrah Fawcett - right?)
