Still paranoid about a friend sneaking past your four-dot-oh facial security (http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/18/android-ice-cream-sandwich-adds-face-unlock-feature/) and revealing all your little secrets? Worry no more, as Sammy's got a solution for you. The new feature is stuffed inside the tasty ICS being delivered now (http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/12/samsung-heralds-european-arrival-of-ice-cream-sandwich-for-galax/) to global Galaxy S IIs, adding the need to blink in order to bypass the Face Unlock (http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/19/ice-cream-sandwich-face-unlock-demo-video/) screen. Aside from the eyelash-flashing bit included in the upgrade, Samsung's Product Planning Team says they've also added Photo Editor, Beta Font, Snapshot and a novel S Go Launcher Pro. You can check out the full interview with Samsung's whiz-squad at the source below.
