The Eikon addresses the growing need for a simpler and more secure way to protect important personal information from threats such as phishing, password dictionary attacks, and malicious software.

For Mac users don’t worry, the Eikon gives a quick and secure technique of unlocking Keychain; which permits them to manage usernames and passwords, digital certificates, keys, and private notes. Additionally to make simple access to their growing number of password-protected web accounts, PC users also enjoy the following benefits by simply swiping their finger:
- Respond to Windows® Vista(TM) UAC requests to enter an administrator password for tasks such as software installations or configuration changes;
- Quickly and Securely logon to a computer;
- Lock/unlock a computer and rapidly switch between user accounts;
- Launch favorite applications by assigning specific fingers for each one.

This gadged make toast has to be one of the most simple part of food to make that actually needs preparation. Just pull out the bread, pop it in the toaster, pull down the lever and it does the rest. The toaster itself is rather simple, you have metal brackets that hold down the toast and wires along the sides that heat up your bread. However, that just seems too simple for Philips, who has created a more modern toaster.
