The new screen lock feature Ice Cream Sandwich has (face unlock) seemed so awesome when Google & Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Nexus one month ago. Basically, face unlock does what it actually says : uses your face to unlock the phone so you can use it, obviously. But not by slamming your face on the phone'ss screen; you take a photo of yourself, and then, every time you want to unlock the phone, the frontal camera will be used to detect your face and... well, it should be pretty straightforward.
As secure as this feature might sound to you, it is NOT 100% hack-proof (so-to-say), and the video below demonstrates just that.
So, if your boss leaves his Android 4.0-powered device in his office and you happen to find it... make sure you have a very high-detail photo of his face in your phone. "Hey boss, let me photograph your face; just so I can use it in the future in case you lose your phone, haha".
ice cream sandwich...i'm hungry...anyway, personally i don't think much of this feature...
ReplyDeleteI want 2 phones to unlock each other all day long.
ReplyDeleteSweet feature, what if your face changed since the pic and you can't unlock it anymore?
ReplyDeleteThis is really hilarious... and good stuff too :p
ReplyDeleteIf only Google focused on bringing Android to all devices at the same time and not in stupid features like these...
