    In reply to Face Recognition Door Lock Thwarts Bad Relatives and Employees
    Assuming no other device costs (installation is assumed), $500 is a small price to pay to have the most kickass security system on the block.

    "The block" of course referring to the subdivided neighborhood where the only "hoodlums" are the kids who play on the grass, there's never any music playing loud enough to travel the ten feet between each house, and doors on both cars and homes are left perpetually unlocked because the only people approaching the door are "magazine salesmen" and the watchman for the homeowner's association here to inform you that your mailbox requires a new paint job or you will be fined $10/day.

    Anywhere else, facial recognition doesn't stand a chance at keeping out anyone with a crowbar.

    In reply to Yahoo Will Divulge Pretty Much Anything for $60
    I guess I have to download and archive all my juicy e mails from Yahell to protect them. $60 would be a very low price for all the dirt thats in there.

    The only thing I really use Yahoo for is the email address that I get all my spam sent to. I guess they can have that if they want. Sometimes there is pron. Maybe they will like that as well.

    @Hello Mister Walrus: The problem is that not only Yahoo can do this, eventually, other companies can "share" the info as well...

    @Crimson33: The article twists the meaning somewhat. Yahoo isn't really "selling" information. When law enforcement agencies subpoena a company (Yahoo, Google, MS, whoever) for information, there is nothing much that they can really do about it. The numbers above just say how much Yahoo is reimbursed for using its resources to provide this information.

    Meaning - Yahoo is probably not the only company with a chart of prices like this. It just so happens that Yahoo's chart got published here. I was sort of joking in my first comment.

    30$ for a half & half (half of the account username and half of the password), 60$ for the full shebang. Yahoo's such a dirty (easy) skank

    So, can I give them sixty bucks to not give away my information? Clearly Yahoo is willing to whore themselves out for cheap, but I am curious if they will take any customer, or if they have some element of discrimination.

    In reply to Carbon Fiber, Biometric and Bluetooth iWallet is the Undisputed Fort Knox of Wallets
    Sadly, the anti-theft features of this wallet are defeated with three words from any armed assailant:

    "You open it."

    That commercial makes we want to not buy the wallet out of spite.

    The delay between swiping your finger and the wallet opening might be a little annoying.

    For $600 it better deliver a fatal dose of electricity to any undesignated people who touch it.

    I bet the wallet still has more Bluetooth profiles than my iPhone 3GS.

    The Kevlar I can understand. I'm regularly getting my ass shot out from under me.

    But carbon fiber? Come on. It's not like you need to reduce drag.
