Your thumb can get you a ride, and your finger can get you in trouble, but who'd ever think that they could grant you access to your notebook, or hold the key to your favourite password protected websites? The Ethentica MS3000 Mobile Ethenticator is a finger print recognition device housed in a PCMCIA card for your notebook. Not only does it allow you access to your passwords with just a touch of your finger, but it also keeps Looky Lou's from peeking at your private stuff. Here's a clip:

"Mobile users are the most vulnerable users to not only equipment theft, but also data theft. With your notebook out in the open, there is a chance that someone may want to steal it, or someone may want to have a look around at that collection of graphics and video clips that you want to hide from your significant other. So, what can you do to make sure that no one is going to have free roaming rights into your private information? The first thing that comes to mind is protecting your data with passwords. However, passwords can be broken, and forgotten."
