Using biometrics seems like a good idea at first. Unique physical characteristics that only one person can ever have.
Its flawless in theory. But in practice, biometrics are a long way off perfect.
Using biometrics, such as fingerprint technology (currently the most common kind), is kind of like saying, "I'm not going to tell you my password, but if you look carefully at every item i've touched in this room you'll notice that i've actually written it everywhere."
It just doesn't work yet.

Xbox as a pivot point
I read some article a while ago, through slashdot or perhaps Hacker News, about how a skilled attacker had compromised a company network by attacking an Xbox console and using it as a pivot point in the network. So far as i can tell, there is no documentation on this. ANYWHERE. And i've since lost the article. Regarless, the idea seems awesome. How many people install a firewall on their Xbox? None! Because you cant!
Hack the planet!
