Scan Your Face for PC Security!

Here’s a really interesting face scanner security for your PC. I don’t know how their secure the software is but the face recognition technology looks pretty valid.
XID Technologies has recently made a new option available for protecting your own computer: a biometric PC access application called Face LogOn Xpress. In plain English, that’s a face scan. Now, instead of limiting your PC security to a password (or a fingerprint scan, for some devices), you can install a program that scans your face in order to provide security clearance for logging on to your computer. This can be used for home or work computers.
Web2.0 Expo - Stewart Mader from Wikipatterns Interviewed!

If you don’t know wikis, it might be a good time for you to get familiar as wikis have not been fully utilized as blogs have been. (Before you know it, the world will become a “wiki wiki” world…)
As a wiki fanatic myself as I have built the world’s first-ever MediaWiki based social networking site, I am a collector of any new books related with wikis in general.
One of the books that I haven’t gotten a hold of was, wikipatterns by Stewart Mader, creator of wikipatterns.com. I am a big fan of anyone who’s creating new sites with wikis so…
What intrigued me about his creation Wikipatterns.com, is the idea itself, not really the software built on it. I am still dumbfounded about what wikipatterns exactly is but Stewart was nice enough to explain it to me in plain English at Web2.0 Expo today:

(Thanks Stewart, and thank you for the book! I love wiki books, make sure to check out my wiki creation too, SiteHoppin.com!)
Stewart also runs Grow Your Wiki blog, check it out as it has lots of interesting stuff for all you wiki lovers.
I will probably do another write-up after I finish the book so hold on while I get all that wiki stuff in my head and spit it back out to you readers in plain English.
Wikipatterns, btw, is based on Wiki software by Atlassian, a company who specialized in Enterprise Wikis.
We will have a short video re-cap by Atlassian’s president, Jeffrey Walker in a little bit, explaining further the advantages of using wikis to replace e-mails and documents.
What do you think, will Wikis be the future of mass collaboration? (If it isn’t already?)
