HP's Webcam's Are Racist?

I'm hoping that this is some sort of glitch that somehow made it past HP's quality control, but this video is a PR nightmare for them. HP's webcam doesn't seem to recognize (facial recognition) African Americans, and the funny thing about it is black people have been here for a while.

Fix this HP!!!!

Dr. Phil tackles Xbox Live racism

I ran across this article about a recent Dr. Phil show. I love my Xbox 360. And I love Xbox live, but this is the exact reason that I don't use the headset or play many games online. The very first time I tried online play with voice chat was playing Uno. Now as a card game goes, you'd think this would be the logical first step. I WAS WRONG!! I had played a few games without the voice on, and it was enjoyable. A nice change from playing a predictable computer opponent. But as soon as I tried the same game with the headset, I was almost instantly turned off. As soon as the game started, with the same people I had just played with, 2 of the 3 other players showed exactly how juvenile they were by swearing and insulting other players almost instantly. I finally had to say something when one of them decided to throw a few racial comments out towards the other player. The exact thing has happened when I tried Halo and a couple other demos online. I have yet to even think about trying it in World of Warcraft or Lord of the Rings: Online, but I will give it a chance. Now, I really don't like Dr. Phil. I think he's a moron, just my opinion, but I will try and catch any re-airing of this show. In the article, I think its a sad statement when a 5-year old child of the gamer in the article asks if the reason they can't play online with daddy is because of the "name calling".

Stupid Racists Using Forza 2

There always seems to be a few idiots that try to ruin a good thing.

Case in point the morons who are using Forza 2 to create racist decals for the vehicles that they race on Xbox Live. Here's the thing, if you want to trick out your car with racist remarks, then don't bring it on Xbox Live.

On second thought, bring it on Xbox Live so Microsoft can ban your stupid ass!!!
