I think its crazy how people can fake a finger print and get into your ihpone that doesnt make me feel safe putting any important information into my own phone.

Someone would really want to get into your phone if they go to the trouble of making a copy of your fingerprint.

Diesel fuel is more expensive than gas and wouldn't you notice that your car was getting 28 mpg instead of the 53 that Volkswagen was claiming?

Hope a dead whale doesn't end up on Revere Beach!

Texalyze a phone? Good luck!

Aneed-A what does it do again?

A back story for the Joker--yawn!

That's one crazy anteater!

I have an iphone ans I never use my fingerprint for anything because it seems too personal and unsafe i know that nothing on my phone is 100% private and secured. I'm not surprised that people are stealing fingerprints and using them for crimes.

Funny how the anteater looks stoned. But what I didn't know was that it can break bark from trees to let ants run out from the tree bark and it will snatch up the ants with its long sticky tongue. It will get 1% of the ants and it's limited to hunt for ants at night because of its predator the eagle which can snatch the anteater off of a tree bark in seconds. Overall I enjoyed learning about the adorable anteater.

why doesn't the fbi just use finger print to open the phone

I never thought the fingerprint was safe

I don't feel safe using my fingerprint anymore.

i think that they should use a retinal scanner for opening things instead of finger prints

Using fingerprint to unlock personal handheld device is kindda like leaving a tiny note of the ATM password in your wallet.
