The article is basically about how Google is working on a smartphone app that would identify people's faces in photos. Due to privacy concerns, people will have to opt in to Googl'e database to be identified. The article says how identifying faces using pages that are publicaly available on the internet is technically feasible.
This article pretty much scared me to death. I hope Google does not go through with this app. It is a scary thought to think about. People can take a picture of you and know information about you. I feel that this app will cause more grief and trouble than actually be used for good.
