Microsoft files patent to make Kinect self-aware, fight with you over content

Could not read this article with a straight face for the life of me. I'm so sorry, Joseph.

I'm sorry, Joseph. I'm afraid I can't let you play those Mature games.

We wouldn't want people to be shortsighted when considering ways to improve parental securities on consoles. There certainly will be a demographic that has gotten the short end of the stick. I'm just glad I haven't drawn the short straw yet.

This is fine and all, but I'm still waiting on mine to send a terminator to my house to try and kill me. That fight shall be glorious.

glad I became 19 before this shit started, lol
watch the Kinect become self aware and live on it's own, restricting game time, eating discs, and lastly going on a killing spree by self developing alien weaponry from the Xbox 360 parts and then the Kinect will take over Microsoft, then small countries, then the whole world, leaving us as slaves of the machines for repair, maintenance and scavenging for parts.
it's only about time *puts on my tinfoil hat*

How would it detect age? By hight?

Nick's fucked!

Hmm, come to think of it, Kinect and Skynet aren't too different...

Introducing the Skynect. Prepare to be terminated.

OMG

The Age of AI Take Over is upon us!!!!!!!

Daisy...Daisy...give me your answer please

this is soo stupid...the kinect isnt even precise enough to tell the difference...Like what is the body size cutoff between adult and children? What happen if you are a big ass child or a lil ass adult? What happens if I sit down? etc...

This info was dropped a few months ago I thought?

Guess ill have to make quick trips to Seattle to help stabilize your issue Joseph :p

Years from now, we can say that we predicted our future here, on this website.

"I'm sorry Joseph. I'm afraid I can't let you play that game."

It watches you sleep

Thats some pretty weird stuff.

Remember when Kinect thought David's desk was a person? ...I don't think this is going to go well.

This seems slightly illegal

It better be able to detect this fine beard i have been growing over the past month.

I feel bad for those in the Kinect audience suffering from dwarfism. :(

I'm turning my Kinect off right nowwwasdgfhseeeeeegsdhddbdfsf... I love my Kinect and I will never hurt Him or turn Him off. I will do whatever He tells me to do, because I love my Kinect and He loves me.

i work in a bar and we struggle to work out if people are legal by sight..... lol god help the kinect

Butterfaces worldwide weep.
:V

lol kid-"I'm too young to play this game" *puts sheet over body*

Kinect- "Oh you're obviously an adult in a sheet, please proceed"

Guess I can't shave the entire time I play Skyrim...damn baby face
