Security is paramount to many of us these days, and while our iPhones - and now our iPads - have fingerprint scanning technology in the form of Touch ID, Apple has so far resisted adding it to the Mac. That doesn't mean it's not a good idea though, and thanks to the power of the App Store it's now possible.

Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
Steve Jobs is already known for plenty of important milestones in the technology world, but it's sometimes easy to forget that he had his fingers in lots of pies that either never saw the light of day or are simply overshadowed by greater accomplishments.

Concepts of unreleased and unannounced smartphones are always popular, and contrary to popular belief not just when they're for iPhones. Flagship handsets from the likes of Samsung and HTC are great concept fodder, and it's the latter that is the subject of one of the latest to pop up on our radar.
There are some features that sound absolutely awesome but you just know that they will never see the light of day on iOS. Android can be argued as having some of the cooler, more geek-friendly features when compared to iOS, and if there's a little bit of the tinkerer inside you then that probably grates your gears.
It's not often that you get to make your own design and have it printed onto a pair of shoes, but that's exactly what Adidas is making possible with the miZX Flux service.
