Forget fingerprints, real innovation is about brains
 

Apple has been getting it in the neck for installing an ancient gimmick onto its new breed of iPhones.

Motorola tweeted that the idea was daft. "Remember that one time you were stoked to give your fingerprints? Us either," the tweet reads. It clearly forgot 2011 when it issued a smartphone which could read fingerprints which failed. However, it did have a point. Fingerprint scanning out of date, no matter how polished.

Isao Nakanishi and his colleagues in the graduate school of engineering at Japan's Tottori University have developed a prototype for a safety system that uses brain waves to work out who you are.
