Sidestep: A photographer friend of ours in Calgary has a set of 'removable finger gloves'.

The finger tips flip back or Velcro down as needed.

gzt: I heard a rumor the next iPhone will come in five flavors.

I am resisting the urge to lower the tone.

Seriously though, I know that some countries use cow's nose prints to track stock theft and on closer inspection, their noses have print like features on the surface. Ours are covered in generaic like skin and only a few scars/pores etc are visible on closer inspection. You can see this best by pressing your nose against a glass surface, like a window and looking at the residue with the light behind the glass - works better if you have just put on sunblock/moisturiser.

judging from the constant smear of dog nose prints all over the back window of our dog car, maybe dogs have unique prints on their noses too!!

reven: couldnt you just type in a pincode if you were wearing the gloves?

Sidestep: At -40 the end of your nose is the first thing to fall off..(ask me how I know ;)

sittingduckz: Strange, a dictaphone springs to mind 

P.S. I'm stuck on 99 +1's, help a fulla out

Okay, I'm asking ;) 

I guess that could be a security risk if there are noses left lying around :-)

How do you know how many +1's you have?

Of course, but I want to use my nose. Pin codes are not that secure. Fingerprints are not secure since we leave them everywhere and they are easy enough to lift. But, apart from easy of use (with not having to expose fingertips to the cold) it occurred to me that nose prints, if they are unique, would have to be more secure. The number of people using nose prints would be low. We don't tend to leave nose prints all over the place. And, the chances of a thief expecting to use a nose to unlock a device would have to be slim. 
Besides, it appeals to my sense of humour :-)
