In november Microsoft is coming out with a keyboard where you can log into cth and other sites using your fingerprints. The way it works is you add your login/password and url to password manager and then to login, all you have to do is to provide your finger print. see this review (http://www.securitypipeline.com/47102003) and see this article from microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/productdetails.aspx?pid=036)

Do you think you will be using one or want one for Christmas?

The keyboard is now available and after looking at the review (http://reviews-zdnet.com.com/MS_Optical_Desktop/4505-3134_16-31139861.html?tag=zdfd.shop.img5), I would love to have one, if only it did not only work with microsoft software. Oh well, maybe a firefox extension will become available for it soon - then I may reconsider getting one for xmas.
