Iris Recognition To Take Off

Posted by timothy on from the not-the-cute-iris-I-know dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Looks like iris recognition is about to explode. Turns out, a major patent held by iris recognition leader Iridian is expiring, and that's leading a stampede of start-ups and VCs into this space."

    You're an idiot.

    The technology would have been developed without the patent. The technology would have been just fine without patents at all.

    Fucking moron.

    The world was working just fine thirty years ago without all this high security crap.

    All it takes is a couple of wussy secret agencies bombing their own people and crying out a lie, "MOMMMMM! He hit me!" to get a free popsicle and your brother in trouble. --Do that and you get all the ignorant little sheeple lining up to have their eyeballs scanned.

    What a stupid, stupid, stupid scenario.

    Get the Mossad and American/British secret intelligence to blow up a few busses and trains in London, and suddenly a handful of paranoia companies, (like Carlyle Group, funded with Bush investement, and others like it), are making hundreds of millions of dollars selling their death and paranioa equipment.

    Consdier it. . .

    If YOU were a CEO and you knew that you could turn a 10 million dollar company into a 500 million dollar company overnight with a few homemade bombs, wouldn't you be tempted? Especially when the Mossad says they'll do it for you, because they hate the Arabs so damned much that they'll do anything to justify their endless agressions against them, (using U.S. and British cash, no less?)

    --Assuming, of course, you were a raving greed-driven asshole who had learned from such culture-programming television events like, "Survivor", which teaches that psychopathy is not just acceptible behavior to adopt, but desirable.

    Competition at all cost! Survival of the fittest! Jocks torture the Geeks! Old rich men get the young blond girls!

    Bah.
