Red Herring Magazine, November 1999 issue, page 85-86 is the MOT/IDX ad with the huge hand announcing keys (fingers) you will never misplace. So, after MOT/IDX makes an introduction of a product using biometrics, will the MOT/IDX ads stop or will they continue but with a new ad copy following up on the new product? BTW, maybe the ad is giving us a big HINT that the new product will not be a phone with fingerprint security but rather the KEYS to a new Mercedes model car using your fingerprints as KEYS to opening the car and starting the ignition - ("a set of KEYS that you'll never misplace.")

Speaking of Randy... One thing we always hear is "we're not giving the technology away". This runs against the grain of successful technologies like Java, Linux, Solaris... ever notice how Sun Micro, Red Hat or Corel is doing? Biometrics by it's very nature has high barriers to mass user acceptance because of it's "mark of the beast" similarities. Developing some "free" product strategies would certainly drop the price-point where more potential customers would try the technology. If Jack Van Impe is ever going to be right about the second coming between 2005 and 2012, IDX better get moving! (of course that's a feeble attempt at a joke on my part - my apologies) Technically, I too think IDX could drop below $7. I'll be waiting for Brad's "jumping-on-the-table-screaming" buy.
