Hello Biometrics: Windows 10 to Add Facial Recognition, Iris Scans and Fingerprint ReaderNicholas West However, it appears that one feature being added to supposedly consumer-friendly applications is a suite of biometrics called Windows Hello and Windows Passport. Its all a part of the move toward a full-fledged Smart World where YOU become the password in a matrix of online and real-world activity. Naturally, the fear of identity theft and cyber crime of all stripes has been the sales pitch to accept this new pervasive identity tech. Apples Touch ID was introduced in iPhone 5 which employed a fingerprint scanner for phone locking as well as to make purchases in Apple stores. Yet, it didnt take long for this new ultra-security measure to be hacked. As Melissa Melton reported: Hacking risks already have been exposed in smart vehicles, smart cars, and even smart weapons(!!), so this seems to be par for the course. Beyond the hacking risks, though, there is our lovely government, which continues to prove that it will do anything and everything to track our every move. Online biometrics is a totalitarian dream of removing all anonymity during even the most casual computer interaction. Weve already seen electronics warnings about keeping personal conversations quiet around smart TVs. What can we expect to happen when all of the items around us are connected to the Internet, and our bodies have become the sole password that connects us to the central database? It raises the spectre of simple monitoring of all health, consumer activity, environmental compliance, and pretty much every movement anywhere. Please watch the following Windows Hello and Passport promo to catch a glimpse of the early stages for what could become a much wider rollout of Smartworld ID profiling.

So why not turn your entire body into an authentication device? Regina Duncan Technocracy was how Zbignew Z. described it in the 80s. Biometric is only one phase. Phase II is laid out by former DARPA exec., Regina Duncan, and now exec of wifi medical/electronic in body control product development. As long as people remain asleep, those who seek power and control will continue to manipulate and engineer the masses, right down to the structure of our very reality. This is Google the largest, most powerful company in the world, Further out, the company is looking at improving on the password by big science with driving application decades behind DARPA Authentification. 39X electronic pills/day . electronic wearables and tatoos that Motorola is developing. mismatch between humans and electronics mechanical mismatch. kids will be far more interested in wearing an electronic tattoo to piss off their parents. vitamin authentication small chip inside of it with a switchinside Yes, its really true, so that becomes my first super power. my Q: Does Google now know everything I do and everywhere I go?

Windows 10 is without a doubt the most intrusive, sophisticated, and diabolical piece of spyware/malware in history bar none. It tracks virtually every single activity carried out by the user and transmits that data to Microsofts computers. From key strokes, to files, emails to social media, it all goes to Microsoft. If the user scans their finger prints, Iris scan or anything else for that matter, in the end it will all belong end up on Microsofts servers. From their the data is sold to entities known and unknown. Imagine for a moment what will happen when Microsofts serves are hacked and all this data is stolen. Sooner or later, virtually every externally accessible database gets hacked. Or a third party is hacked, or simply sells or gives the data to the wrong people. In other words, this capability is a that to US national security. Is it any wonder that so many countries around the world have banned windows. It is time for the American people to do the same
