You might as well wish for fingerprint readers. It's not going to happen, and thus can't be remedied. But there are already acceptable COTS solutions that need no special hardware. IoT vendors simply have to use them.
Ok, let them go for that, or not. But I well remember proposed spam mitigations back in 2000 being just as forcefully shot down because IT WOULD TAKE A DECADE TO IMPLEMENT THAT!!! That was 16 years ago. It's a dumb sort of thing to waste people's time posting, whether it's attractive or not will stand on its own merits and not someone arguing that in their opinion (based on who knows what) market penetration is insurmountable. And many smart phones do have fingerprint readers and have for a few years now, so do quite a few keyboards. My trackpad on my 4 year old laptop has one (Aspire 8930G.) Your point is several years too late already. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs () TheWorld com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*
