The new HS100-10 is a USB-compatible fingerprint scanner designed to keep the information on your computer from falling into the wrong hands. The scanner is designed to be used contact-free, keeping the sensor free of dirt and other debris that can affect an accurate scanning.
Password-protected computers might become a thing of the past if the HS100-10 manages to take off. Personally, I'd like to see the HS100-10 bundled with anti-virus software and other computer security software. You can never have too much computer security.
