    Check out this website, I saw it in the windows forum earlier

    http://www.bananasecurity.com/

    It uses your integrated webcam to perform FACE detection on your laptop!

    Even though the website says windows XP, it works like a charm on my vista ultimate 32bit system.

    Justed wanted to add that for the initial log in, you will still need to use your fingerprint, this software pertains to "locking" of the system.

    I came up with an idea a number of years ago. What's the first thing you do when you use your computer? Sit down, right? This is the realm of Tech-Butt Corporation, with the Intelligent Cheek-Reader (tm)! Translates the unique patterns of your backside, taking daily readings and incorporating a moving average into the algorithm to account for weight loss and gain, and automatically determines your identification and logs you on. Check our website for additional interfaces and peripheral devices!
