Scripted by rapper Ice Cube, Friday is a no-frills tale of a typical day in the life of a pair of African American youth in South Central. Cube plays Craig, a frustrated teen who endures the ultimate humiliation: getting fired on his day off. Then unknown Chris Tucker plays Smokey, a marijuana-worshipping homeboy whose love for the green stuff lands him in predicament after predicament.

Sitting on the stoop of Craig's rundown home, the two hilariously confront a kaleidoscopic array of gangbangers, weed dealers, crack heads, prostitutes, scheming girlfriends, and neighborhood bullies--all of whom, it should be noted, come off as sympathetic even as they are being caricatured, a true achievement in the crass, "booty call" environment of '90s African American comedy. --Ethan Brown

Passwords are a pain.

Weâre forced to use passwords to access our online personal accounts (banks, credit cards, email, etc.) and work-related applications (VPN, CRM, etc.). We even have passwords for logging into Windows® and allowing tasks prompted by Vistaâs⢠User Account Control (UAC). Requirements based on password length and use of capitalization, numbers and symbols result in countless different passwords that are hard to manage. How often do you rely on the âForget password?â link to have your password emailed to you?

Access at your fingertips.

Accessing your personal accounts is now as simple as swiping your finger. Now that you donât have to remember or enter passwords, you can create âstrongâ passwords (long and complex) that are replayed when you swipe your finger, making your personal accounts more secure.Passwords are vulnerable. In order to cope with countless different passwords, we often write them down on sticky notes or in a spreadsheet. Doing so exposes your personal accounts to someone who walks by your computer, who steals your PC, or who mines for such data online. Using a common password offers thieves a one-stop-shop for the keys to your accounts, while using simple or obvious passwords such as your petâs name are susceptible to remote hacking.

Nervous about using fingerprints?

Relax. Your fingerprint image is not stored, only a handful of unique features called a âtemplateâ which are extracted from your fingerprint and cannot be used to reconstruct an image. Also, concerns related to fingerprints are exaggerated - we leave our fingerprints on objects everyday such as cell phones, drinking glasses, doorknobs, etc. The point is: a simple fingerprint image cannot be used to âspoofâ or be âinsertedâ into a UPEK fingerprint reader.
