In my continuing quest to point out that machines are capable of contextual
analysis, thereby obviating costly human input, whether it's categorization,
password management or any number of soon-to-be archaic chores:

"Researchers at the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland have developed
a prototype of a cell phone that uses motion sensors to record a user's
walking pattern of movement, or gait. The device then periodically checks to
see that it is still in the possession of its legitimate owner, by measuring
the current stride and comparing it against that stored in its memory."
