USB keychain drives used to be cool to have, but these days they are no more than giveaway bait; many tech trade magazines offer these for free in return for filling out a survey and providing your e-mail and mailing address for more junk mail. No, thanks.

MyHeritage will accept your uploaded pictures, find faces in them, and compare the faces against its database of celebrity faces. The face detection itself is pretty good (much better than my crappy grad school project); the celebrity matching isn’t that great (or maybe their database is not very well populated, or maybe I just don’t look like any celebrities). It’s still fun to play with. Here’s a sample of a relatively good match (we got matched up with Chinese and Thai celebrities):

The software was successful in usually matching us up with Asian celebrities (dark hair and light skin), but we also got a few interesting mismatches based on other similar characteristics. My high forehead and receding hairline matched me up with Governor Schwarzenegger and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (hmm, their software is pretty good, now that I think about it :)); Patrika’s cheeks matched her up with Charlize Theron.
