"Naked Labs wants to be brutally honest with us about our bodies in a way a mirror, scale, and maybe a personal trainer could never deliver - a full-length mirror equipped with an array of 3 Intel RealSense depth sensors designed to accurately capture the body in all its glory, producing a 3D model in just 15 seconds. Aimed to aid fitness enthusiasts and athletes in tracking their head-to-toe measurements and body fat percentage with a greater level of accuracy than formerly available at home scales, this is either a dream or nightmare."

"In the tests carried out by Ofcom earlier this year, children were shown screenshots of Google search results for the term "trainers" and asked whether the results at the top of the page were either a) ads, b) the most relevant results, or c) the most popular results. Despite the fact that these topmost search results were outlined in an orange box and labelled with the word "Ad," they were only recognized as such by 31 percent of 12- to 15-year-olds and 16 percent of 8- to 11-year-olds. Other tests showed that one in five 12- to 15-year-olds (19 percent) believed that if a search engine listed particular information then it must be true, while just under half of children (46 percent) could say for sure that Google itself was funded by ads."
