PC Security System Only Seen in Dreams....

So, I built myself a new computer. I thought that it was pretty sweet. Along with the computer i bought a new screen, keyboard, mouse, and web cam. But today I discovered what was only seeing (at least for me) in movies. Banana Security has a software where using your notebooks/desktops web cam takes a picture of you and creates a 3d face "security key" for your Windows account. After setting it up I can lock my computer and have my face unlock it. How cool is that? I've just installed and so far i do not have any problems, yet. I tested with my sister and it works just fine. When she was sitting in front of the computer it wouldn't unlock, but as soon as I popped my face in front of the cam, my Windows session was up again. It is in the beta stage right now, and is only available for windows... Sorry Mac People , they are working on it. But the best thing is that it is FREE. You can get a copy on there website at http://www.bananasecurity.com/ tell me what you all think.... I think that it is amazing that technology is becoming so advanced, and that this software can use such little things as an everyday web cam and a regular computer to do this. Check it out! (Oh BTW, for all of you thinking "what if it can't detect your face?" well, there is also an option to enter a password as well as the camera!) I am pretty sure that it works on all Windows platforms... I am running Vista and it works like a charm. Try it out, and comment back on your experience. I am trying to get a copy of there code, and i will give it to our programmers to see if that might be something they could possibly use for next years game... Enjoy everyone.
