Apple (AAPL) To Make Passwords Obsolete With New Facial Recognition Patent
Leave it to Apple (AAPL) to solve all of our problems and make our lives easier. For most of us, passwords are a hassle. Now Apple is about to make passwords obsolete. On Dec 29, 2011, the United States Patent and Trademark Office published a patent application by Apple titled Low Threshold Face Recognition. As an electrical engineer with a long background in patents, I recognize that most patents do not amount to anything. But this patent is different. In my opinion, Apple is once again about to change how we function in our daily lives. Imagine no more passwords.
