[H2][SPAN id=ppt925887][FONT size=3]I wonder why this technology isn't used everywhere.....like.....in place of credit cards. No more identity theft in THAT area. It seems inexpensive enough, so cost shouldn't be an issue. No more plastic....no more lost credit cards....it seems perfect.

The mouse -- which contains a convenient, built in biometric reader -- will scan the identity of you and four loved-ones with a confidence-stoking accuracy of more than 99%. In addition, the device is coated with the company's "Nano Shield" which prevents totally gross garbage like bacteria, fungus and algae from surviving on the surface. So, if you're super-paranoid about both germs and computer security, your wallet is probably going to get about $80 lighter real soon.[/DIV]
