			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Making it to the top of the <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8429634.stm">BBC Technology page</a>, a video posted on YouTube shows how the latest HP face recognition technology fails to “see” a black person.  The video is pretty funny to watch. Have you seen it? If not, here it is for your viewing pleasure.<br />
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/t4DT3tQqgRM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/t4DT3tQqgRM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>In light of this interesting story, I wonder what fate awaits the author of this video should he be the proud owner of a <a href="http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2009/12/17/lockface_usb/">Lockface USB security token</a>.  <img class="alignright dtse-img dtse-post-42" title="Lockface USB" src="http://www.crunchgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Picture-21.png" alt="" width="221" height="187" />The device itself depends on the ability of the webcam to recognize the person, which would serve as an authentication credential for site/system access.  However, if a computer you are using does not have a webcam (or fails to “see” you as in this video), defying all logic, the token reverts to a simple password entry . . . still wandering what the whole point is . . . why spend $110 for the privilege of typing your password? Especially when the guy who lifts it from you can revert to his well-honed tactics of password hacking.</p>
