Gavin McInnes has been highlighting what he calls "Cuckmercials" ... commercials that reinforce the idea that men, dads, husbands, whites, Americans, etc are all stupid or evil.
(you can read what I'm talking about here (http://takimag.com/article/propaganda_pop_culture_from_cuckmercials_to_star_w ars_gavin_mcinnes/#axzz4Hn8SezlL) and see what I'm talking about here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfUhExdNjK8))

Well to Samsung's credit they've just put out a pretty awesome Anti-Cuckmercial ... if I wanted a smartphone this would likely push me in their direction (watch the whole thing because it starts out like a full on anti-American cuckmercial).

Yeah, the "unlocks with my eyes" feature seems wrought with issues ... like what if you're drinking or swimming and now your eyes look different or you get attacked and punched in the eye and one eye is swollen shut and you need to call 911.. Are you locked out of your phone now?

Then you use your fingerprint. Missing the digits that you scanned for access? Use the swipe pattern to unlock.

Wife's Note 7 arrived today. Love my S7 Edge.

The S7 fingerprint feature is a much welcomed upgrade from the S5 I had in the past, after owning the Iphone 6S, I won't own another phone that doesn't have a good fingerprint feature, but that's another topic.

I can't watch this commercial and not feel bizarre nationalistic (and Nazi) overtones because of the role Christoph Waltz plays in Inglorious Basterds, especially the scene in front of the house with all the patriotic flags and banners.

Edited. Because I was wrong about the actor and his role. Sentiment is the same.

So if you are terrorist, I have to cut off your finger or gouge out your eye when we kill you and collect your phone...

Yeah...I have a Note7 on the way from work. Should have it this week. I like the message in the Samsung commercial. Hope I like the Note7 as much as my S5. It already did way more than I needed.

I like the commercial in the way that it's unapologetic.

Wife got her Note 7 from FedEx last night. It's quite the upgrade from the Note 3. Very much like the S7 Edge with a stylus. The iris scan works, but not at all with her eye glasses. I'm not sure how many folks will use the iris scan as the primary method of authentication. The fingerprint scanner usually has my phone unlocked when I pick it up before I'd even have a chance to point it at my eyes.

Samsung Pay is pretty cool. I've had a number of cashiers tell me, "Oh, we don't have that.", only to be surprised when the card reader takes my payment.

I think the commercial is trying to be more like the Old Spice commercials than it is patriotic.

Just thought of something...I think judges have generally ruled that police can't make you unlock your phone with your password. With this phone, will the police be allowed to flash it in front of your eyes to unlock it?

Not any more than they can take your finger and forcibly put it on the fingerprint reader.

...and it doesn't open by "flashing it in front of your eyes". If someone tried to do it, just squint. [Wow1]

I have a Note 3 and still think it's cool as hell. Best part is that it's paid for. I guess if I play with a Note 7 I'll feel like I'm using a Commodore 64.[gohome]

Commercials have been this way for the last 40 years, making middle class men in general out to be stupid and dumb and women to be the smart ones. It is marketing as women are the majority in making household buying decisions.

Police Can Force You to Use Your Fingerprint to Unlock Your Phone
But they can’t make you cough up your passcode.

Any reason you can't set up multiple passcodes on your phone? One goes to your main user, the other goes to a secondary user that doesn't have access to any of your touchy personal info? Or one just causes the phone to wipe itself?

I don't even have a dumb phone so I have no idea how the security on smartphones works.

There are some phones that allow you to use two SIM cards and you can switch back and forth, as if they're two phones, but they're not common.

For phones that have biometric unlocking, generally you still have to set up a password or pin number that you can punch in if the facial recognition or finger print scanner fail.

From a security standpoint, finger print scanners are dodgy because you have no idea if that data is being transmitted to unknown third parties, and unlike a password, you can't really change your fingerprint pattern if it's compromised.

From a legal standpoint, I believe multiple courts have ruled that the police can compel you to open a phone locked with a fingerprint, but they cannot do the same for passwords.

For the truly paranoid, there's always Silent Circle.
