How'd they not see that as a possibility? -- nm* - Krusty Sep 5, 07:01 9
- I tend to expect them to have some sort of depth-detection, maybe like a Kinect does. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 5, 08:00
- Notes in the comments say it could be in demo mode which unlocks with any face - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Sep 5, 07:05
- Every facial recognition has this problem. It's more about having the cool feature rather than security. -- nm - iSpam Sep 5, 07:02 6
  - Then maybe they shouldn't say it's more secure than using a pin. I'm all for more ways to secure our electronics - Krusty Sep 5, 07:08 5
    - We're having this issue with laptops now. Many have non-user serviceable batteries -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Sep 5, 07:11 4
      - People here seem to disagree but batteries don't last nearly as long as the devices I have or as long as advertised. - Krusty Sep 5, 07:16 3
        
        It's not that big a deal on phones. Batteries Plus and many other stores replace them on most phones for basically the cost of the battery -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Sep 5, 07:19 2
        
        If they didn't lock it in I could do it myself and I wouldn't have to go to a store. - Krusty Sep 5, 07:23
        
        mostly true. -- nm - tRuMaN judging things Sep 5, 07:20
