Seriously what the fuck /.? Lenovo has had this on their netbooks for 1...2 years now?
http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/06/13/1456251/Lenovo-Trying-Face-Recognition-For-Logins-On-New-Laptops#It's a novelty. SO much faster to type in 6 characters than wait for a scan and get in. Ive tried with photos and such and didn't work so it's not 100% retarded. I'd say only 99%.

-1 offtopic for talking about what Jobs is showing in the unveiling powerpoint presentation? Apple fanboys have raided Slashdot, and they're retarded.

Oh Apple is still different just different as in "we're not going to give you what you want unless its what we want".
Why is this modded troll? I use apple products, and this seems to be right on point.

I find curious how apathetic people are these days.
It's like a toon character:
"Hey! Look! The Earth is being destroyed!" "Yo, man! That sucks!"
Earth may be doomed, but is there hope for us?
As opposed to "OH NO THE WORLD IS ENDING!?!?! Kill your children before they have to suffer the same fate we will!". The whole situation fucked up, nothing you say or do can change that. Welcome to the real world, deal with it and QQ.

Same here. No cable since ~2002. It's progressed to the point where I haven't even bought a TV. My PC is my multimedia device, I don't need ad-infested overpriced media to make me feel 'connected'.

So all I have to do is download some shitty app and rate it, potentially exposing myself to the spyware/malware/security vulnerabilities were looking to avoid? Where do I sign up?

When I was a kid, I could hear the capacitors in old CRT's. A room full of monitors would give me a headache. As I got older, my hearing has decreased in the high pitch ranges. That, and monitors have gotten a lot better.
I was able to do that too, I think most children are - it just makes Hearing is much more acute before the bombardment of loud music and the natural decline in the acuteness of ones hearing.
