Log me on, HAL. Sorry, Dave.

Do you feel mocked by your computer? Now it's about to look at your face and decide if it likes you. From the interesting techzine EWeek:

• Security experts have long predicted that personal identification technologies such facial recognition software would someday replace passwords in the common business setting, and one firm is betting that the availability of cheap, effective hardware, along with its software, is making such systems more practical today.
• Known as Sensible Vision, the company introduced a new product dubbed FastAccess that promises to deliver facial recognition identification to any Windows PC for $99 per user, plus the cost of a $25 USB camera.
• When a user steps away from their desktop the machine is automatically locked until the user sits down again...The company claims that its setup correctly identifies people in less than 2 seconds at least 75 percent of the time.

Hmm, every fourth time I walk away I can't log back on? I'll feel like the astronaut in 2001: A Space Odyssey

Dave Bowman: Open the pod bay door, HAL.
HAL: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Dave Bowman: What's the problem?
HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Dave Bowman: What are you talking about, HAL?
HAL: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
