Missing the entire point of writing a script. Congrats. Please stay away from all code in the future. Wow, Nathan, you took an easily comprehensible script and turned it into a real mess.

If that's true, all I've got to say is "are you kidding me"? Many people, myself included would not like to search through useless 140 posts by narcissistic people when I'm looking for something. If I did, I would go to Twitter and search. If Google does this, you will be playing right into the hands of MS. I’ll stop using Google as I’m sure many others who find Twitter useless will.

There is always something getting faster and better yet cheaper, and there is always someone finding a new way to apply it. Gotta love that!

I would like to see Intel's OpenCV (Computer Vision) API implemented on the Android. So you could put your face on a Muscle Man or a Seal or something... Sony Camcorder style.
