So Google has gone a different, albeit cool, way of unlocking your phone.  Rather than the standard 4-digit pin that most systems have, Google has designed a type of symbol recognition system that will let you draw on screen by playing connect the dots.

Now, if you only use 4 dots, the system is less secure than using a pin, but past 4 dots, it has the potential (depending on a few variables that my friends and I argued about [see below for transcript]) to be much more secure.  Of course, that is due the the increased amount of digits, or in this case gestures, rather than the system itself being more secure.
