...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.

...sight of Elliott decked out in Aaliyah-imprinted clothing of late is not in and of itself unusual, but its continued presence two years after the singer’s untimely demise demands justification. The initial deluge of mourning should surely have passed by now, no matter how close a bond the two shared.
