move up, on the rise, whisker, by a whisker of, sideburns

Technology: Data Breaches on the Rise, Report Finds

Bernie won Minnesota, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Vermont, and lost Massachusetts by a whisker.

In February, Schick's Japanese unit started a Web site that lets users upload a picture of themselves and see how they would look in any of 1,000 different whiskers. The styles are organized by type (goatee, sideburns), theme (sexy, standard) or occasion (dating, job interview). A '3D' function converts the bewhiskered photo to an image that blinks and smiles.

2月份時﹐Schick的日本子公司開設了一個網站﹐用戶可以向其上傳自己的照片﹐然後從1,000款不同的鬍鬚中挑選一些加到自己的臉上﹐看看結果會是 什麼樣子。這些不同風格的鬍子按類型（山羊鬍﹐連鬢鬍）、主題（性感、標準）和場合（約會、應聘面試）來分類。網站的3D功能將加上鬍子後的人臉照片轉成 一個能眨眼和微笑的圖像。
