This could be the starting point for a big push for home biometrics use. I am not that fully versed in how the software works but I think it would be pretty difficult for the FBI tosteal your passwords if you passwords were your thumbprint or your face.;)
I think everyone here (or on any website) tend to think WAAAAYYY to highly of themselves. The sheer fact that anyone actually takes the time to A)get on the web, B)find a technews website like/. & C0takes the time to set up an account is a GEEK. And therefore TOTALLY unrepresentitive of the unwashed mass of consumers. Yes, M$ is giving lip service to "hardcore" gamers and HALO devotees but do they really give a shit? NO. M$ is shooting for the 16 to 30 year old non-geek (ie: non gaming/tech/geek wensite reading/posting) who likes Sports, action games, and things that jiggle. HALO & the Xbox are going to sell like crazy. All this grandstanding about how Bungie & M$ have alienated their fanbase & how it will hurt their sales is self-delusional. Grow up.
