    • Oh. Continuity's already posted much the same in the ios7 thread.detritus
    • ... germans create artificial fingerprint from 1200dpi image of a fingerprint. this is hardly newsworthy.kingsteven
    • Easy as pie... : /chossy
    • Actually, it is newsworthy given the context Apple's given for its security and how easy it is to do...detritus
    • ..I have a laser engraver capable of 1200dpi output which I rent to people - any of whom could fake a fingerprint.detritus
    • So, yes - if a solution is billed as being nigh-on perfect, it's worth pointing out where it isn't.detritus
    • Also, why point this out given how much unnewsworthy stuff is in here, unless you have some personal point to score?detritus
    • You want a badge?
      An orange ribbon?
      A small cake with your name on?

    • (you can only pick one)detritus
    • you can't have a badge and eat a cake tooraf
    • "if a solution is billed as being nigh-on perfect"... where?kingsteven
    • there are prizes for hacking the sensor and lifting a fingerprint and using it to unlock a phone... this is neither.kingsteven
    • also, the non newsworthy thing was in reference to how much coverage this is getting... not you posting it here.kingsteven
    • the only 'personal point' i have for you detritus is in me trooserskingsteven
    • haha, yaay!detritus
