New notebooks offer biometric protection cnn.com Not favorable... FWIW I sent an email to webmaster@pcworld.com. The reply I received was the canned ya we'll look at it but will send it to the party concerned and we might answer it or list it on the site or something so don't hold your breath... I was thinking that if they received some more inquires about the "story" they may pay some attention and give up an answer or two... I read an article from the CNN web site, titled "New notebooks offer biometric protection". I was curious if the author, Jamie Fenton, was able to keep unauthorized people from accessing the systems. No mention if the biometric systems succeeded or failed in keeping the bad guys from either logging on or accessing data. Also, what Compaq system was used in his review, the type II PC card Biotouch or was the scanner embedded in the Armada E500 that mentioned in the story? I've read other reviews that commented on the ability to rapidly log on and was under the impression that the success rate increased as the user become more familiar with the system. Did the author find the same results? The link for the CNN article cnn.com steve
