Security as it is broken

What is security, if the person who designs them still can open them without the key or password which is suppose to be unique to us who bought the item from them? Chances are if they can open it, someone still maybe able to open it somehow. Philosophical talks aside, how bad is this industry if we look at the whole picture of safety and security from the point of view as an end user.
First of let's get to know a little about Security. We lives in a world where everything is so near yet so far as long as we don't have the right key. But what if key is not what we really need to achieve that goal. Yes those movies you've been seeing lately some of them are true, especially Mcgyver's movie. I think that's why they ban the series (I really hope this is reason, because i don't see why they wanna stop making inspiring shows like that).
But we are way passed that era now, Mcgyver didn't have iphone or android, HTC, and netbook running 2.6 Ghz, with 4GB of ram, wireless, bluetooth, GSM enabled, 10 inch, full keyboard, and a crappy mouse pad. If he had those maybe the series would have continued.
*Reminder* Information posted here are available from the internet, no tactics or guarantees that you will have success in using it as you would need to sign up for my personal class to guarantee that.
Top ten list of broken security.
10. Doors knobs or locks

Looking at this kind of door i think i already have 3 ways of opening the door. slice, bump, and crash. I think for those who knows these method understand those 3 words very well. Yes a reminder do not put anything with a key at your door until they find a better solution.

9. Windows


Both these and the doors are something which you might see very commonly but do not open it when it is not yours. In some part of the country there are no windows or doors with just a simple lock shown here. Windows are the most easiest part, if you know what i mean.

8. Locks

Yes i think we are all familiar with this kind of locks aren't we. Trust me this looks more easier than anything, Always keep in mind that, if your using $2 dollar to secure your secret, product, life's work, or document. It worth $2 then. Not trying to offend anyone but that's just a say. Now this kind of lock don't really need skill if your really into it. So this is for your hand carry luggage only not your jewelry box.

7. Car Side Doors

Oh yes that cute car you have park outside your house, or down at your car park basement sure is sitting duck if they are being targeted. You thought about just using the keys would save you a few thousand for some installation of security system, forget about locking your steering wheel or paddle. if it's in your car it's detachable. Those sales man sold it without letting you try it on someone else car and act as if you really want the thing to go off. It would have given us a real value for money for such experience. Yes apparently you can get tools like this in open stores!!! Talk about safety

6. Car Remote Controller


Yes i know you must be saying "I don't use key, i use a remote to open my door". Well the thing is with a remote sometimes it just give them a more stylish and easy way to open your car and drive away without even breaking a sweat. But if you have a GPS tracking device installed, this would not be much of a worry (only applicable to Singapore region as it is small enough to factor out other probabilities).

5. Wireless network/Bluetooth


Now as we are getting closer this is getting a little bit more interesting. You could be asking yourself this from time to time "Steal my internet, Steal la i still pay the same", "Don't let me catch, or i break the leg", "Try to steal lar, i turn off my router see how u steal", "This is singapore ler, internet everywhere you still want to use my internet you !#!@$" well the list is a bit long so i'll leave those to you guys to think about. Can we really trust wireless? Maybe, depends on how well verse you are.

4. Fingerprint

Now here we reach a segment of some very sensitive part on our body, fingerprint. It is suppose to be unique for every single human being on this planet. It is said no 2 finger would have the same print. But it seems like this might not be the case in practical. There are cases where security system with fingerprint sensor has been successfully tricked, hacked, and mis read. It is possible to "lose" finger print as well. Where is the security in that.

3. TV Set Top Box


*Note* Due to certain brand conscious reader, i have mosaic out the brand of this picture so you would not confused between TV Set Top Box against 1 particular brand.
Those with $$$, or doing well or can afford, or don't mind spending might not see this as a problem in a way. but in other part of the country this is a problem. Hence the say "Nothing happen, Doesn't mean there's no problem"

2. Mobile Phone/PDA
*Note* As everyone knows what this particular item is, and there are so many around the market. No picture will be shown. This is not a finger pointing bias of other brand action.  
Ever since the introduction of phone there has already been a lot of problem with it ever since CDMA was introduced, and now GSM. Not only that with the current ALL IN ONE solution in one hand. More problem will come.

1. Computer/Laptop
*Note* As everyone knows what this particular item is, and there are so many around the market. No picture will be shown. This is not a finger pointing bias of other brand action. 
Here we have the culprit that has brought down multinational companies to its knees, City on the brink of helplessness, and the whole world becomes a playground. Make no mistake young readers, this is the most scary piece of equipment ever designed by human. because of this it has made human lazy, fat, and comes up with many ideas/excuses (funny ones mostly). Worst of all, your life depends on it. Literally.

Conclusion: Even know that the top ten list basically covers the whole item which we use everyday. sometimes the best security is you..
