Random thing

Here's a random link I found to interesting research on facial expressions in avatars. It's not that fantastic or new, but it seems like it would be amusing to see my friends sneeze when they sneeze.
Of course, what would be more interesting would be to see this tie in somehow with built-in isights on macs --- or some sort of manually operated version. I remember WAAAY back on the Daily Show they had that happen with a correspondent that was on e phone -his pic on the map changed according to the emotions, which was indeed pretty hilarious.
