In the documentation, entitled “Low Threshold Face Recognition” (ie, “Face recognition with a low threshold of action”), describes the system identification through integrated front camera, which allows multiple users to take turns working with the same device without interfering with each other.
Such a system can automatically identify a user, for example, the tablet iPad , and offer him a separate profile with individual settings, and applications that need it the man. Naturally, when the user changes the system will offer a different profile with different parameters, but the very recognition will be based on the characteristic facial features, including, for example, eyes, mouth and nose, the distance between them and the comparison with the previously loaded reference image and give an answer in whose hands the device. Incidentally, such a system may well improve the safety and storage of important data in the memory of gadgets, but when exactly it will be translated into reality, it is unclear, given that the patent application was first filed by Apple in June 2010.

according to research by research Mobilewalla. 17 weeks long, from May 16 to September 8, the research looked at how many everyday apps were launched in the App Store and Android Market. In this period, developers offered 91,754 apps in Apple’s App Store. If you then look at what day they offered, Sunday was the best day to be chosen. Further investigation of the data shows that four in ten (42 percent) of the apps on Sunday for the first time offered in the top 240 most downloaded apps arrive.
Apps that are launched on other days doing significantly less well. The worst day for an application to offer the Friday only 10 percent of these apps is just mentioned in the top end 240. Another interesting tidbit is that apps from the App Store four times more likely to be discovered than applications in the Android Market. That would be because the search and navigation functions in the App Store is better than in the Market. What is most remarkable is sufficient since Google search technology in house, unlike Apple. Apple recently showed that four times the revenue generated and the Market for selling the same apps.
