Count groups for Jedi and Sith are also available

![Face Recognition Photo App Hopes To Sidestep Basic Flaw With A Blink [Review]](http://cdn.cultofmac.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/facevault1.jpg "Facevault")
Dare you show your face?
Facevault is a one-dollar photo archive app that can only be unlocked by one person – the one with the right face.
It sounds neat, and yes, it works. But the face recognition features come at a price, and are hindered by a flaw that affects other apps using the same technology: it can’t tell the difference between real faces, and photos of real faces.

Does it work? Well yes, actually it does. Better than expected.
![High Speed Ion Racer Fails To Thrill [Review]](http://cdn.cultofmac.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ionracer.jpg "Racing in Ion Racer")
Ion Racer: not enough bang for your buck
Ion Racer is a new high speed futuristic racing game for iOS from SGN. Sadly, if this is what racing’s going to be like in the future, I think I’ll take up fishing, because it will be more exciting.
I first heard about Launch Center from my old TUAW colleague Dave Caolo when he began writing a series of posts about it on his excellent 52 Tiger blog.
