...your mug, even as you move side to side or up and down. It doesn't always get things right--busy backgrounds can confuse the Orbit, and it may stop following you if it spies something of greater interest. (Hint: Keep any giant Tiki-god statues out of sight.) While videoconferencing or taking pictures, you may find it more practical to manually override the facial recognition and steer the Orbit to the best viewing position. But when the meeting is over, the hyperactive camera is an unexpectedly amusing...
...Beyond a complete overhaul of Bangkok's sewerage?an idea dismissed by the city government as too expensive?it seems the capital will have to live with the odor and the sight of black sludge beside homes and offices.

The unflattering context of the recognition is also fairly confused; the image is used in a video whose chorus includes the lines “Pop that, pop that, jiggle that fat / Don’t stop, get it till ya clothes...
...That's when it occurred to Paul that we could bottle the rest, hustle them into some upscale local food stores, make a buck, and go fishing. And that is how our baby got started--not in a manger, but in a tub--not a wise man in sight, a fading movie star and a cantankerous writer, but that...
