Very interesting... so I wonder what happens if a user has a stroke that alters facial appearance and use habits?

Sounds like a nice tool for criminals for self protection,  so the next time Apple want's access to an iPad... well.

Good call. Unless the criminal had kids and let them mess around on that device... then, it's like... "We'll give you this Snickers bar if you turn on your daddy's phone..."

What is honeycomb flavor? I've never eaten a honeycomb itself,  I've had honey before, and it might make more sense to have that bar honey flavored rather than honeycomb flavored.   Must be one of those upside-down things.
