Australian science fiction writer Greg Egan is complaining because Google keeps showing photos of other people called Greg Egan while claiming they are him.

As a Facebook user, I thought the problem of face recognition was pretty much solved. Even if not, it seems peculiarly stupid of Google to show photos of several completely different people under the label "Greg Egan is an Australian science fiction writer".

A partial solution would be to post several authenticated photos of the real (in this case) Greg Egan, but if I search Google on my own name, I see several other people's photos come up as well...
