Evil MacBook Pro mod

I don't see why anyone who does what they want with their own belongings and isn't directly hurting anyone bothers you mac people. Geez, 😛 😛 😛 😛
 
Although a fingerprint scanner thing would keep my computer more secure, I would never do that to my computer. If apple designed, and implemented a good design for one, I would probably spend the extra money for it, but then I would need one external or on my keyboard for all of the clamshell use I do😱
 
Kinda ugly.

I like the IAlretU thing better, it would be great as long as the computer is on, I wonder if closing the case would defeat it though?
 
We use a Mac port of our face-scanning software, which we use in conjunction with Bloomberg-style fingerprint reader cards & of course the password (commonly this is called three-factor authentication). Generally I prefer that my fingerprint scanner be separate to the computer.
 
The iAlertU is for differnt purpose though. It probably only works when the computer is on, and you can probably disable it using password.

The FIU port is differnt. It is installed is hooked up to DC-IN, so I assume that his intention is that others wouldn't be able to power-up the computer. Not even if theyare able to get the password of the computer.

Although, if the theif is smart enough to figure out that the FIU is just hook to the DC-IN then he can probably open the compy up and solder the power back in no time. 😉
 
Sure it may work well, but what is all that black crap next to it? Looks like mini puddles or something. If he cleaned it up itd look better.
 
How To Beat Fingerprint Scanners: With Play-Doh

While researchers are constantly trying to come up with new biometric security methods, the fingerprint scanner has established itself as a trusted piece of equipment, even making its way onto laptops and mobile phones. But a new study says that 90% of scanners can be fooled by a fingerprint made from Play-Doh. As Engadget points out, that's good news for people worried about losing their fingers to thieves. No word, however, on the effectiveness of Silly Putty. 😛

It does look a bit crappy (the black smudges on the sides) but I'm still impressed. I would never dare do something like this! That must've took balls. Big ones. 😎
