"\r\n\r\nAccording to a post on 9 to 5 Mac, by way of Norwegian\u00A0Mac Site Mac1,  Apple has purchased all of the shares in Swedish Tech Company Polar Rose for an as of now undisclosed amount.\r\n\r\nPolar Rose is a service offering which specializes in facial recognition and late last year developed a centralised album for all your online photos. The distinguishing feature offered by Polar Rose is the way that it tags those in photos using its facial recognition technology.\r\n\r\nAccording to the story, Polar Rose is described as:\r\n\r\n\u201CThe Malm\u00F6-based company specializes in developing technology which makes facial recognition, not unlike what Apple already has and uses iPhoto for Mac OS X. Through sophisticated algorithms, manages the software of the Arctic Rose to recognize faces in images and the company offers three different products using this solution. Two of the (Face Cloud and FaceLib) them seem to be very interesting for Apple.\u201D\r\n\r\nWhat will Apple do with the capabilities of Polar Rose?\u00A0 With iPhoto, Apple already has facial recognition capabilities, albeit limited in scope, uses some facial recognition technology in iPhoto.\r\n\r\nWe\u2019d love to hear your thoughts on Apple\u2019s share acquisition and what you believe their reasoning may be behind the purchase."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
