A must watch video there about our consumer economy.

Amazing how easy it is for anybody to get hold of sensitive data. I am not sure what is the purpose of a hard disk in a copy machine. They should not have these. The copy machine wants extra money for deleting images or encrypting.
Very interesting idea, I think OLEDs are still very expensive but they have started to show up in consumer electronics in small sizes. This combined with 10GUI.com interface enhancements and it would be awesome.
I still wish there was a way to do more tactile keyboard. My wish is a gel keyboard win with you partly immerse your fingers and keys are configurable in software.
I am using Toodledo.com (very ugly web interface but good functionality) with Ultimate To Do iphone app which can sync with Toodledo and it has been working out pretty well.
I agree a To Do list that is not always with you is not an effective list.
I have tried all the ones you mentioned except Todoist and none of them is as effective as my current solution.
Another nice thing with Toodledo is that they have a good and simple API that can be used to make it available on other smartphones as an offline app.
I think it is a neat idea and I have not seen such an app yet.The idea can be called micro-investing or micro-entrepreneur.
What would be the business model of the company facilitating this transaction (the startup)? Commission on transaction or commission on profits or both?
They killed so many civilians without any apparent reason with such brutality and impunity including this 9 year old whose brain came out and fell between his father's feet as he watched him die.
Worst of all they denied it all and told the congress they were defending themselves. They were acquitted in the court for all counts and I would not be surprised if they were acquitted for killing this young innocent child.
This is not an isolated incident and these were not the only rogue mercenaries in Iraq. It seems we have forgotten our values of liberty and justice for all.
I agree with you. I have written to such website before but it is just more one thing to do and follow up on. I was thinking if I start collecting all of them together I can do some kind of bulk action one day. This blog entry is just the starting point and is no means the last action on this.
Boycott might be too strong of a word. I just want to bring attention to this point that the user community care about security and this is not a good practice.
I think Google Apps does this when you are setting up a new user account for other user. Sending that is different as in they need the password to access their account for the first time.
Although there are better ways to setup an account and may be gogle app should force the user to change their password on their first login but this is not the same as me setting up my own account and getting an email with my own password I just typed twice to register.
Incredibly educational comment. I stand corrected that it is not necessarily true that they would store it in clear text in the database but if someone is sending me password in clear text in email I would not give them a lot of benefit of doubt to do the right thing.
Besides, what is the utility of sending such an email. If certain software is open source and I can assure they are doing the right thing I will be much more comfortable.
