New Aussie gambling system memo leaked

So, what was the point again? (News.com.au)

The Gillard Government is moving to introduce the system of mandatory pre-commitment in clubs and pubs next year as part of its deal with Independent Tasmanian MP Andrew Wilkie to retain his support to remain in government.

Oh, that's right; I remember now.

Fingerprint biometric wallets back in the news

Dunhill's Biometric Wallet Only Opens for You (Tom'sGuide.com)

This is Dunhill’s Biometric wallet. Featuring a biometric card that detects the owner’s fingerprint, this carbon fiber wallet will only open for the person who payed the roughly $800 to buy it in the first place. Sure, a thief could probably get it open if they really, really wanted to, but this might at least give you some extra time to call the bank and cancel your cards before the robber has a chance to hit Amazon.

Buy one here for $825. (dunhill.com)

Mike00, in the Tom's Guide comments, makes a good point. If it has a fingerprint reader and blue tooth, what happens when it runs out of batteries?

The Miami Herald deemed a similar product its worst performing gadget of 2010. Perhaps Dunhill has addressed some of the problems with the TungstenW model. Close examination of the images from Dunhill's site and the TungstenW model, however, lead one to believe that the Dunhill model is the TungstenW.
