Microsoft under your thumb

Microsoft is set to introduce a new line of keyboards and mice Wednesday, including models with built-in fingerprint readers. Unlike most current implementations of biometrics, the new keyboard, mouse and standalone fingerprint reader use the technology not for security but convenience. The accompanying software memorizes the passwords Web surfers have to remember to get around the Web and automatically supplies the right password, once the fingerprint reader verifies who's there.
