Your perilous future on Windows XP
Published:
If you are still using Widnows XP on your computer, you need to read this article. Especially if you are under the impression that you don't need to upgrade because "you don't need new features", or because "it works fine right now as it is", or any other reason.

Have they figured out a way to build a fingerprint database via the Windows 8 touchscreen interface?
It does make you wonder.
Well not in any way you may have thought of however they do have lots of very bright people and more money than you or I will ever have. You may have not thought of a way to do it but you do not have the resources they do.
To read a fingerprint requires a camera-like sensor or device, and that's just not what a capacitive touchscreen is capable of doing.
I agree that it is amazing what some technologists are able to do with certain equipment, but sometimes you just run into limitations of a device that cannot be forced to do something beyond its capabilities.
In this case it would be like trying to force your iPhone camera to photograph a planet orbiting a distant star. It's just not capable of doing that, and even a really smart person couldn't force it to work.
My money, though, would be on the really smart people with lots of resources.
I suppose that before Einstein you could make the argument for not being able to make uranium explode also. Einstein figured out how to do it WITHOUT having lots of resources.
For the record, I'm certain someone COULD invent a touchscreen that integrated a fingerprint reader, just like people invented the atom bomb. But today, a really smart person could not take an existing touch screen off the shelf today (like on your iPad) and read your fingerprints with it.
If you ever see a job opening for $150k a year with the requirement of finding logical reasons as to why things are impossible please pm me and I will apply
