HP’s Racist Webcams & Computers

A fairly hilarious video turned up on Youtube; apparently one of HP’s motion-tracking laptop webcams has difficulty tracking black faces as opposed to white ones.

Obviously it was not intentional. It’s almost certainly a software problem dealing with light contrasting, but some poor HP developer is probably living in terror of the bloated shape of Al Sharpton turning up on his doorstep and shrieking “RAAAAACIST!”
