The release serves to teach facial at a party, your friends be surprised a bit longer for the next beer. At least as I see it, taking into account the level of security that has this kind of blockage in the Android handsets. For if of Ice Cream Sandwich and could be circumvented with a photo , the implementation of Jelly Bean does not need much more to be transferred.

Actually, from the standpoint of a developer, I find it amazing that Google not prove with a simple picture on the first version, when pulled Ice Cream Sandwich, but I like to think, rather, they tried but did not mind taking this functionality as something to molar, not to be used as a reliable method of security.

The fact is that Google listened, he realized his mistake in ICS and that functionality did not work much, so they decided to implement a check liveness, ie it would not be Jelly Bean with a still picture of the face of the person , but would have to blink to see that it was a real person, which also has worked for them as well. In fact I only see an advantage of liveness check against the version implemented in ICS: need 3 more minutes and a PC handy for entering the device.

Anyway, the video is how they break the security of a device using a really simple method: download a photo from Facebook, copy and paste parts of skin in the eye, draw a black line and alternating pictures. Google, focus on what you were doing well .
