Replace Passwords with Your Fingerprint

If you're like most people, you have more than a dozen passwords and user names to remember. Whether you're checking your e-mail for new messages, catching up on the news, posting to a Web discussion group, or playing games on the Web, you have to sign in all the time. Have you ever sat there, staring at your screen, wondering which password you set?
Wonder no more. Microsoft has developed a convenient solution for replacing all those passwords with something you don't have to worry about forgetting: your fingerprint. Integrated into some of Microsoft’s latest keyboard and mouse products and also sold separately, the Microsoft® Fingerprint Reader lets you log on to your favorite Web sites without scrambling for passwords—just touch the fingerprint reader with a registered fingerprint whenever a password or user name is required, and you're in. Just like that.

Beginning C# by Karli Watson

After hunting for about a month on book for beginners of C#, today I finally got my hand on this excellent book. Its called Beginning C# and written by Karli Watson with so many other writers. Its a must buy for the beginners who want to go deep in learning and making concepts in C#. The book starts off from the scratch so the beginners will face no problem in understanding the concepts of making Windows and Console Applications. This book is really of my time. Now I have to hunt for Professional ASP.NET by Karli Watson.
