If there's one person at CeBIT you don't want to not recognize, it's German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Nevertheless, we can only assume that Vodafone booth workers were left with their tails stuck between their legs after said figure gave its recently announced picture-based search engine a go. Upon Otello (Vodafone's latest service that returns detailed information about photos sent to the server in MMS, may that be a wide-known person, building or painting) returning nothing after a picture that was presumably snapped of Merkel, she quickly asserted: "I am not in the database." Better still, she continued by proclaiming: "That's a major gap." Heck, maybe she should be happy -- after all, Vodafone's set to trial the service with Europe's "best selling tabloid," and not being in there would most certainly be a good thing. The innovative feature had very positive results in many cases, but the humorous incident showed that there is room for improvement. Vodafone launches Otello's test phase in Europe soon, so everyone can try what is and what is not recognized by the servers of the red network provider.
