Could be that the typical Yahoo mail user is less technically savvy than the users of other email providers and more prone to making mistakes which makes it easier for the account to be hacked.
What the author seems to be missing is that most of what we keep secret can be taken by someone with a malicious intent and used against us. This is a major reason some things are best kept private.
I'm not sure whether its timing based or whether you just need to mash buttons like hell? If it is turn based it makes sense, but not much I can do with 300 ms latency as I watch the bar flying by getting redder and redder.

I'd rather that Airline Websites use their time in improving the usability of their site by using autocomplete suggestions instead of drop-down lists of hundreds of cities, save information in case of failed payments etc rather than make the site beautiful but non-usable.
Am I missing something? You only lose accounts which you are not using, correct? It is easy enough to avoid losing the account by logging into it once. If you have lost access to the account, you can go ahead and reclaim the same account back through this scheme, if I am not mistaken. Could someone please explain why people are getting so worked up about this issue?
A CFO is paid more than the coal miner because the skills required to be CFO of a Fortune 500 company are scarcer, and more wanted, than the skills required to be a coal miner. It’s the combination of scarcity and wantedness that drives up a salary. Coders (Read web-developers in the authors case) are paid more because of a demand for them which the author tries to understand.
Ever considered others might have had a different experience? I took it for a spin (iPad2) and it seems pretty nice actually - and yes, it did not crash. I don't see it as a replacement for Safari, but it looks perfect for leisure browsing.
