5) For all online purchases and any place that I think might be shady I never use my bank cards. I only use a low-limit CC that I pay off weekly. If it gets stolen they can only ever have access to $1000 which will be refunded posthaste. They also send me email announcements of purchases but they are pointlessly two days after I make the purchases.

I use that same limited CC account idea which is also tied to my PayPal account. I tried the Apple store app this weekend for the first time to buy a new lightning to USB cable
Good call! Now that Apple has tipped their hand, wait for shamesung and googlrola to come out with their own pseudo-implementations to preempt the 5s. I always thought that's what samsung was doing with their kinda-silly TV ads in anticipation of the 'new apple TV', with the commercial showing every possible UI at once (voice, movement, typing, remote).
(3) Small explosive charge built into it, which is accessible from "Find my iPhone" app. If the iPad is lost or stolen, the device can be blown up remotely.
(4) Jihad resistant
5) Plutonium fuel cell technology... could double as fissable material for #3. If blowing things up... let's blow things up in an Insanely Great way.

[" url="/t/152849/authentec-to-reportedly-ditch-non-apple-customers-in-2013#post_2197550"]I would definitely buy a special edition military iPad, if it came with these features.
(1) Bulletproof Kevlar backing. Can withstand a 357 Magnum shot.
(2) Ultra secure fingerprint verification technology

Apple should mess with people and call the next phone for iPhone 6, since everybody is expecting a 5s now.
Just flip the 6 upside down and call it the iPhone 9. Then it will be a bigger number than Windows 8, and it will be consistent with Apple's new trend of not naming their iPhone consistently.
By removing the technology from all other devices Apple might now has something unique. Apple can thus name its own price to lucky phone buyers. Monopolising profit works.
There are plenty of other companies who also produce fingerprint sensors. Authentec wasn't the only one...

They are oh, so sneaky...
"My voice is my passport. Verify me."
I wonder if McD's has more Android users than than most places?
NFC or RFID? I'm sure there are McDs testing out NFC but that's not the same as nationwide distribution of McDs with RFID readers on the PIN pads.

We already know that an army of Google shills reads every thread on AI.
Solar charging? Seems a bit unrealistic.

The app is called "April Fools" But it's commonly known by it's street name: "Boom Boom"

That's what would have happened if someone in marketing didn't decide to market to people who have trouble counting.
Wouldn't it be awesome if you could login to the MacBooks using your fingerprint. Can't wait for that.

It is awesome, I log into my ThinkPad all the time using only my fingerprint...
