Just in case they are dumber than I am giving them credit for and have actually not thought of this, and want to patent the idea... consider this post PRIOR ART. It is an OBVIOUS and UNORIGINAL idea. Their stupidity is not probative of my originality.]]>Mar 27th 2007 11:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/27/uk-crime-review-proposes-fingerprint-readers-on-daps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/27/uk-crime-review-proposes-fingerprint-readers-on-daps/Mar 28th 2007 1:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/27/uk-crime-review-proposes-fingerprint-readers-on-daps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/27/uk-crime-review-proposes-fingerprint-readers-on-daps/
That Engadget and some of it's readers fail to recognize this demonstates a lack of logical thinking that is certainly also found in the criminal population. The arrrest and accompanying puplicity surrounding the first iPod with enabling finger on ebay will help get the message out to those unable to think things out for themselves.

Where I live (Belgium) we have had several cases of people stabbed or clubbed to get their cellphones or MP3 players - and a 19 year old kid even died of knife wounds because he wasn't handing over his iPod to a couple of thugs in a railway station in Brussels. Say what you will, but making it more difficult to rob your stuff just drives some people to use more violence to get it.]]>Mar 28th 2007 3:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/27/uk-crime-review-proposes-fingerprint-readers-on-daps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/27/uk-crime-review-proposes-fingerprint-readers-on-daps/Mar 28th 2007 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/27/uk-crime-review-proposes-fingerprint-readers-on-daps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/27/uk-crime-review-proposes-fingerprint-readers-on-daps/how about a registration via password, so when its pluged into a computa the user needs the password(via internet,, we all have that dont we?), if you dont have the password, you cant use it,, that way we can share, sell & use,, & then if its stolen, th manufacturer can identify were it is gone, & disable usage,, geeze, dont we have that simple technology available already? after all, i'm sure that all these toys are individually serial#'d
or hey,, heres another idea for the genuine thefts out there... seeing as most of them are made in china,, how about putting a fair price on them, then they wont be worth stealing]]>Apr 5th 2007 9:22AM
