The near death experience that created a tech millionaire

I'm sorry, but he did not invent emoji - DoCoMo did.

I'd say the BBC need better fact checkers, but they're no longer in the business of facts, just paid PR like this, and state mouthpiecing.

Edit: the "fingerprint scanner" they tout is not what it appears to be either. This guy doesn't make money from apps directly, rather from book and course sales - I.e. Selling false hope. http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?162014-Chad-Mureta-App-Em...

Kinda thing that gives those of us who do have useful products a bad name.

>>> Two months later, Fingerprint Security Pro was in the app store. >>> In the end, the app didn't actually offer any security - it was a gimmick that pretended to read someone's fingerprint and deny them access to the phone, with a hidden unlock button in its top corner. But it didn't matter. Users loved it. In its first month, it made $12,000. Mr Mureta was on his way.

Interesting ..
