Can Machines Read Body Language?
Human communications depends heavily on nonverbal cues; that's often the best way to tell when someone is annoyed, or tired, or pleased. In contrast, it's often impossible to know from looking at it whether a robot is processing data, awaiting instruction, or in need of repair. Now, researchers from Switzerland and South Africa have designed a visual interface that would give autonomous machines the equivalent of body language. http://www.technologyreview.com/articles/rnb_061804.asp?trk=nl

Editing Films for Very Different Trailers
With some keen-eyed editing, you can create a trailer for a film that's very different from what the movie is usually seen to be about. For example, a brilliant chap grabbed and mixed slices from a classic horror film, The Shining, and the result is... a romantic, family-oriented, feel-good comedy. This was done for a contest, as discovered on Making Light, and you can enjoy entries by other geniuses: Titanic as horror film, West Side Story as zombie attack. http://infocult.typepad.com/infocult/2005/10/editing_films_f.html
