I KNOW YOU!!!

What if you were sitting in a bar and someone snaps a picture of you on their cell phone. Then they use a phone app that matches your face with your name. It not only identifies who you are, but possibly where you live and your phone number. CNN reported that Google is developing just such a facial-recognition mobile app and is working on privacy issues. However, Google responds that it's not working on an application that would allow users to identify others by snapping a picture of their face with a cell phone camera, despite a high-profile report that one is on the way. I guess time will tell, but is does not sound too farfetched to me however scary it maybe.
