Maybe he took them with a nice digital camera but blogspot has a maximum file size. So he had to reduce the quality. And instead of playing with it to get a nice picture with acceptable size he just toned it down as low as he could.
or you could remove the topic of apple from the types of stories you get on digg, then you won't have any reason to bitch about there being too much apple. ignorance is bliss i always say.
isn't it another Photoshop contest? Installing biometric scanner isn't that hard. Main problems are manage the "matcher" making your fingerprint dots recognizable by the OS. It also mean that the used recompile the kernel or created a kernel extension to use the scanner with logging process. And also creating a OSX compliant biometric scanner software to enroll users...what makes me even more suspicious is that there's no demo of the reader in action.

I just can't belive that he has the balls to do that to a new MacBook...

I've got a better use of his money: a new camera.

He did a crappy job and it was a bad idea to begin with, given the disgusting fail rate of mac logic boards in their laptops.

If he was that insecure of people getting his data he could have just bought a vault or perhaps even the free password Apple gives you

No kidding.One other thing I didn't get from the article is what is he using to communicate w/OS X's equivalent of PAM?
