RIM applies for a emotion detecting patent

Posted by James Richardson on 19 Jul 2012 12:02 pm EDT

Another day and another patent filed by Research in Motion. This time it is something quite bizarre. The word on the street is that the new patent uses a technology to detect the users emotion.

If the patent is granted could we see BlackBerry users having their emotions...

Posted by Chris Umiastowski on 13 Jul 2012 9:50 am EDT
