As a result of “heightened demands” for secure computing, PC makers are taking a serious look at biometrics. MPC’s TransPort laptops, for example, use heat-sensitive scans integrated into the system’s BIOS. The MPC’s TouchChip captures fingerprint scans from the laptop’s palmrest. A laptop can be registered to multiple users, who can each designate which files, folders, or directories will be shared. Very James Bond.
