6. OMG, I was gonna post this, but I wasn't sure...

If it was real or not. :rofl:

I watched the video but the people they have in the video (like the guy doing the motions) seem almost comical, so I was thinking it was satire. Then again, I'm a tech idiot, so it all seems like a different universe to me.

13. What motion do I make when I want my father-in-law to quit sending me Teabagger junk mail?

Is this motion recognized?

14. You laugh, but Nokia is (was?) actually working on that.

Most of the high-end Nokia phones have both a
front-facing and rear-facing camera, so using
the operator-facing front camera to recognize
user gestures is a very possible thing.

And now Apple's , iPods, and iPads have such
a camera as well (as do all MacBooks) so
there's an even-bigger addressable audience.

16. Rumor has it that there's an option where it can function using obscene hand gestures. :)
