Passwords, no matter how clever, can be found out and used to get through to your most precious data. One thing people can't steal, however, is your face, which makes this "Snappy Face Recognizer" a more secure option for keeping would-be identity thieves out of your bank account. Using a 1.3-megapixel camera and face-recognition software to make sure you've got proper clearance to access your PC, the little gadget scans your pretty face and matches it up against the one on file. Be careful to keep up appearances though, as it would be pretty annoying to have to go shave in order to log on to your own computer. The recognizer can also be used as a normal webcam, capturing photos at 1,280 x 1,024 pixels and video at 640 x 480, if you're into that sort of thing. Snappy face recognition is available online now for $92. — Adam Frucci
