Give Your Computer The Finger
Passwords are supposed to be an obstacle for evil h4X0r types, but what about the hassle for us reg'lar users? You can't use your dog's name or your wedding anniversary date – too obvious. You can't use the middle name of the Secretary of Transportation in office when you were born – you'll never remember it. Sometimes they can be 12 characters long, sometimes only 6; sometimes they have to include non-alpha-numeric characters, other times they absolutely cannot. And you'd have to be naive or crazy or stupid to ever, ever write them down.
All this so nobody can log in as you and spend your Neopoints, or rearrange your fantasy NASCAR lineup?
Giving new meaning to the term "digital security," the Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse Explorer with Fingerprint Reader lets you log in to Windows and all your fave web sites with a firm but gentle touch of a finger. Doubling as the wireless receiver for the mouse, the fingerprint reader will recognize your unique pattern of whorls, arches, and loops and wave you through just about any online gate. You'll feel like Maxwell Smart or somebody.
And let's not overlook the mouse itself. The shapely, hardworking Intellimouse Explorer is currently tooling around most of the desks here at Woot, and not just because we can buy them wholesale. We admire the five programmable buttons. We enjoy the tilting scroll wheel. We cherish its sturdy, erognomic build. If Microsoft's business was limited to manufacturing peripherals like this mouse, they'd be every geek's favorite company.
We've all been there: waiting behind a virtual velvet rope while some online bouncer checks to see if you're on the list. Buy the Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse Explorer with Fingerprint Reader, and don't get mad – get biometric.
