Facial recognition Windows 10 to be released this summer

MICROSOFT’S new Windows 10 — which features facial recognition — will come out this summer, revealed Microsoft executive vice president Terry Myerson.

No precise date has been locked down for the launch of the operating system, which will power PCs, smartphones and also devices like bank machines and medical equipment.

“For the first time, a new version of Windows for small footprint IoT (Internet of Things) devices will be available — for free — when Windows 10 launches,” Myerson said.

He added, “Windows 10 will offer versions of Windows for a diverse set of IoT devices, ranging from powerful devices like ATMs and ultrasound machines, to resource constrained devices like gateways.” The new software will allow users to sign into a device without a password by using biometrics, including facial recognition.

‘Bond’ returns to Spectre after undergoing surgery

THE 47-year-old actor underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a knee injury he suffered on the set of the new James Bond movie, Spectre last month and he’s now said to be back on location in London already.

“I don’t do all my stunts —I’d be lying if I said that. But I like the fact that occasionally that you’ll see on screen that it’s my face and it’s me,” Daniel told.

Director Sam Mendes’ Spectre marks Craig’s fourth outing as Bond and is scheduled for release in November 2015.
