Fujitsu's PalmSecure reads your palm: outlook good
Privacy fiends, rejoice! If you're not
yet satisfied with iris scanning, fingerprint reading, and voice recognition, it looks like Fujitsu's finally bringing
a new smaller 35 x 35 x 17mm version of their palm-vein scanning
PalmSecure biometrics system to a laptop near you. Nah, we're not gonna be happy until we have to urinate into a
cup and provide a DNA sample every time we unlock our corporate machines (you know what they say about loose lips and
sinking ships), but until then at least we'll be adequately protected assuming someone doesn't chop off our hands,
gouge out our eyes, and record our voice (preferably not at the same time, anyway).

What? You guys don't have to urinate in a cup to login?
Honestly, I'm fine with my fingerprint reader. I've tried every variation of the Play-doh trick, but I still can't fool the scanner.

Just curious, have you tried the Gummy Bear trick?

Seems very secure and suitable for the laptop, can be used when on the move.

Do you know how easy it would be to steal your urine and your DNA?

I think every player is trying to create a unique identification system. LG is gearing up its systems on Iris Scanning technology, why so much of variation? Can't there be one single format?
Isn't there any open source initiative for Bio Security devices?

Dang, first thing I thought when I looked at the photo was that it was a USB Theremin...ohhh well. One can dream...one can dream.
