With billions of photos processed each month, and 10′s of millions faces recognized to date, face.com is operating the largest face recognition platform on the cloud. We’re extending our services to the developers community to make it easy to integrate with your services. We offer our platform services both a free and premium licensing, depending on your needs. We offer services for detecting,  recognizing, and tagging faces in any photo, through our REST API.

sIFR: sIFR is meant to replace short passages of plain browser text with text rendered in your typeface of choice, regardless of whether or not your users have that font installed on their systems. It accomplishes this by using a combination of javascript, CSS, and Flash.

cufon: In reality the generator is little more than a web-based interface to FontForge. First, the generator builds a custom FontForge script based on user input and then runs it, saving the result as an SVG font. The SVG font is then parsed and SVG paths are converted to VML paths.

Critical vulnerabilities have been identified in the current versions of Adobe Flash Player (v9.0.159.0 and v10.0.22.87) for Windows, Macintosh and Linux operating systems, and the authplay.dll component that ships with Adobe Reader and Acrobat v9.x for Windows, Macintosh and UNIX operating systems. These vulnerabilities could cause the application to crash and could potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.
