Fingerprint hardware from Microsoft

I have always liked Microsofts current Keyboard and mouse line, great design. Integrating fingerprint recognition technology makes it even cooler!

If you're like most people, you have more than a dozen passwords and user names to remember. Whether you're checking your e-mail for new messages, catching up on the news, posting to a Web discussion group, or playing games on the Web, you have to sign in all the time.

Have you ever sat there, staring at your screen, wondering which password you set?

Wonder no more. Microsoft has developed a convenient solution for replacing all those passwords with something you don't have to worry about forgetting: your fingerprint. Integrated into some of Microsoft’s latest keyboard and mouse products and also sold separately, the Microsoft® Fingerprint Reader lets you log on to your favorite Web sites without scrambling for passwords—just touch the fingerprint reader with a registered fingerprint whenever a password or user name is required, and you're in. Just like that.

Yes, i have seen those allready and i even thought about buying the keyboard (i need a new one anyway), but... If i use this keyboard for a few months, i know for sure i can't remember all my usernames and passwords anymore.
Have you seen the size of my kitchen knife?

I'm gonna get me one of those :-)
I've seen one some time ago, but it slipped my mind. Must be the brain damage caused by too much staring at my Computerscreen/Televisionscreen. 8-(

Can I get your fingerprint please? In that never ending quest to keep things secure, Microsoft is offering various hardware designed to confirm your identity for your personal PC security. A novel idea I suppose, but what is the likelihood...

Blah isn't it enough that the FBI has my picture/fingerprints? :P And no, I am not joking about this either. I'll stick with my old trusty Cherry Keyboard
