Default For those who say that the British innovative spirit is dead...

The British have always led the way when it comes to developing innovative solutions to problems. Give Britons a problem and they will find a solution. No matter what it takes.

It was what made their country great, and what keeps their country great. Other countries can only wish they had citizens as innovative as citizens of Great Britain.

Proof?


Headline: Your iphone 5s can be unlocked with your penis.

I won't bother posting a link to the video. I think you get the idea. Google at your own risk.

The new iphone 5s comes with a fingerprint scanner built in. Well, according to some innovative gentlemen in Great Britain, it is not just a fingerprint scanner.

Yeah yeah, Americans may have put a man on the moon, but Americans are still using their thumbs to unlock the iphone 5s.

So well done Great Britain! Way to think out of the box.

On behalf of this once great country I'd like to say thank you for the recognition of all the hard (ahem) work STEED had put into this invention.

Without looking into the article more deeply (or even at all!), if I'd created it I would've called it a dictaphone.

Would it have knobs on it for operational purposes?

The question I have is: how does the thought of even trying this come up?

So how difficult was it to use your .... member... to unlock your iphone 5s?

Pretty hard actually.

They probably got the idea from Anthony Weiner.

I've just tried it but it only worked on the iPad not the little iPhone.

Ya'll need to keep trying. There's a fellow in Oz that paints with his pecker.

That's one step up from pecking with your painter.
