  4. Re:This is too simple to fix on Your Passwords Don't Suck — It's Your Policies · · Score: 1

    Because:
    - it is bad policy to use the same password in multiple sites.
    - when you have dozens of passwords, pass-phrases does not make it easier to remember. it is also difficult to come up with multiple pass-phrases.
    - it is easier to randomly generate password and use password manager.

    Why would you be looking at people's password?

    I believe you can goto Account Settings immediately after you signed up the account, and opt-out of things you don't use like web history, google+...

    I don't like the new default UI (with no menubar) either.

    Cash, and cards, are more tolerable to abuse compared to a phone.
    You can throw it on the ground, or put it in water, and it's still usable.
    Try that with a phone.

  19. Re:I want 2 SIM cards on Apple Proposes Smaller SIM Card Design · · Score: 1

    If you don't want to carry multiple phones, maybe you should check out phones that take dual SIM cards.

    Personally, I don't mind if they reduce the size of SIM card to similar to a MicroSD (I think it's difficult to handle them if it's smaller than that).
    However, I don't really understand why we need it.
    The problems I see are locked phones and ridiculous cost of SIM card (about $30 or more). Not SIM card being to big.
