The sneaky new HP launches "slimming" camera
In a world of Internet dating, few things carry more weight than the the uploaded photo-of-self. (Please to recall that the Pew Internet Project says three quarters of all single Internet users have experimented with online dating.) Wouldn't it be great, then, if that picture was a bit more flattering? Well, you might have been upset with Hewlett Packard for its deceptive practice of "pretexting," but maybe you'll love them for their new "slimming" camera. The effect is subtle, crows HP: "They say cameras add ten pounds, but HP digital cameras can help reverse that effect."
OhGizmo, however, calls the device "fatalistic," and is a little put off by the whole thing: "You know you’ve lost control over a part of your life when you start finding features, in gadgets, that help you deal with it." Ah, photo-manipulation: It's all part of the new HP Way.
