Inkblots to remember your passwords! Who would have thought of it?

And this actually looks very useful. I can see the headlines 'Microsoft is capable of innovating!'   :eek:  

Is this too good to be true, or what?

Shashdot smote again, of course (I am a slashdotter myself   ;)  ). Looks like the system has a few flaws, though, from what I've read.

Gotta hand it to those people over at RedmondResearch. That's pretty cool. That would be the first actual innovation coming out of Microsoft yet.

All the inkblots are smushed windows symbols.

Innovation? kinda, ever have a waiter take your order without a paper and pen?  When he does this he remembers something about you and corilates it to your order.  Linguini--blue tie, Calzone--moustache,
Spaghetti--GREAT TITS!

Its the same idea just a different context.

Read it, this isn't Microsoft that came up with the idea, its an intern that came up with it that Microsoft just happened to use! Opportunistic bastards!

I was just gonna say.. You guys think that MS made this just because it appeared on their website.  Very bad assumption.  Seems like a weird idea, might work though, who knows.
