  1. Password Strength is Google's Weapon AGAINST You! on Google Adds Two-Factor Authentication To Gmail · · Score: 1

    LINK

    I see this development as a sort of confidence trick, where Google is trying to get people to put more of their eggs into fewer baskets (that Google controls, of course).

    Two-factor authentication schemes offer strong security against unauthorized account access by miscreants, no doubt about it, but never forget that Google is God on Google. It sees all. It knows all. Many people will make the mistake of thinking that the enhanced security protects their data from everyone, including the government. Thatâ(TM)s not true at all. This does nothing to protect your information from Google itself and the national security interests it willingly serves.

    So, if you use Google services, I would say to use this, but just keep in mind that Google has access to everything that you do on there, and that, if they turn over your data to any outside organization, there would be no indication of it, two factor login or not.

    Yeah. Pull the other one. It's got bells on it.

    You are Google's product and inventory - not their customer. You don't slip off the shelf so easily.

    The flaw in GOOG and Yahoo and Hotmail? Social networking "features". They get the email address of every contact you have, and spam them from your address in spoofed headers. All without a login credential.

    If you want to get all righteous about HP/UX or Tandem or whatever, go ahead!

    We are talking the Desktop/Portable/SMB/Home market segment here. This is an entirely different business than the enterprise computing or engineering businesses. They operate under different economics - and the former has, in the past, been very much defined by OEM alliance with Microsoft.

    Ballmer is shitting perfect, white-hot cubes about this.

    Only 10K? That's hardly 2/5s the time these folks have been local to the region. For them, this is a late, modern development. For European descendants it is an incredible antiquity.

    Interesting to think of these timelines, regarding common perception. Cleopatra lived and died closer in time to the era of Moon landings than she did to the building of the great pyramid at Giza.
