Alright, so I wasted a few minutes watching this a$$hat presentation. The fail, well not so much a fail as the Apple fanboys mention but more so much as he did it wrong the first time. Obviously there're different configurations for the face unlock and he had the probable default of a pin combo. What really struck me as lame was oh we can simply swipe for different apps or screens-android's had that for years. The next few minutes of are a gist of how you can spend $1000 to play with yourself.
As Tiberian and others including my self keep stating, bio-metrics for consumer devices should not be relied on yet. At least a pin combo provides some real security but all this b.s. for face unlock to use pay, turn on, and every other kind of app is lame. It really is true that we're trying to make devices smarter so people can be dumber. For people who have true physical disabilities I believe this can help but the rest, well pull your head out your butt and stop being so f'n lazy.
I don't believe for a moment that Android or MS do a better job of this stuff, just saying no one should be that focused on it. As others have mentioned, there's plenty of other useful things to work on like power systems, screen durability, and upgrade-ability, personal data security(instead of private data going to the manufacturer), prices(really a $1000 for this $hit), availability. For those who say they want to use it professionally, well how about office programs that don't need either MS or Apple to properly open a friggin spreadsheet. Or common secure docs that don't need hundreds per year for annual licenses. I can expect MS or Android not to step up to provide that common ground and quality, it's what all the fanboys say in Apple's defense. It's just a shame that the almighty Apple with an empire capable of controlling global economics can't find it to truly help in such innovations and infrastructure. Much easier to milk consumers to play with themselves.
