From the synopsis (and echoed in the paper): "The paper hints that the proposed IE7 security indicators and multi-colored address bar will also suffer a similar fate."
While I don't mind taking a swipe at M$ft from time to time, I find it difficult to imagine how a brightly colored red address bar (even one outside the focus of attention) with "Phishing Website" written on it will be ignored.
The only thing (and I am keeping in mind users that are not extremely tech savvy) that would be more obvious would be a "arm-like" device attached to one's monitor that points to the "Phishing Website" text displayed on the screen and whacks you on the top of your head if you still proceed to enter all your personal information in.
Others are realizing that it's just not worth the effort to rush, pay more and stand in line to watch a movie when they can just download it online or buy it on PPV and watch it in the comfort of their homes a couple of months later.
It would be interesting to see how much information Boxxet pulls off other sites and how it represents this as useful information without broaching copyrights.
I've always liked to think that good programming is 50% skill and 50% art. Why? Because sure you can get the final results (which mostly depend on skill) but what also matters is how you get those results.
Take a look at code written by well-know code shops, CS graduate students, etc. I'm sure that even though the code works, one wouldn't find a good percentage of that code acceptable by "good" programming standards.
Getting back to leaving the fate of the world to Joe Blow, assuming you can get past the "I can't understand programming logic" barrier, and you assume the availability and use of excellent programming apps (then you're just giving them something that enables them to generate code automatically while designing in a word processor) to make up for lack of skill, you will get code that is badly written, very inflexible and extremely unoptimized.
1. The government won't react till the day the service is turned off. 2. Then they'll look surprised 3. Then they'll have a committee set up to investigate the issue 4. On being blamed for lack of action, they'll feign ignorance and say they were not aware of the seriousness of the situation because it's not every day that RIM shuts its services off 5. They'll say they'll treat this as learning experience 6. They'll look into separating RIM from the DHS 7. They'll find a scapegoat 8. And then they'll wait for Mardi Gras!
But this seems unlikely. The government would never do that.

Repetitive stress wrist injuries... here we come!
Definitely good with the mod(s)... possibly not as good with a camera?
Are you sure it's not an "iPod, iTMS"-killer?

Who's to say we should trust siteadvisor?
FTA: Microsoft says Windows users should "take care not to visit unfamiliar or untrusted Web sites that could potentially host the malicious code"...
Sure I could guess but which ones exactly would those be?
i.e. Dell will (or atleast intends to) buy (but not has already bought) Alienware.
Oh okay... let me know when.
So much for botering to corect a tyo!
OOPS!
... when box office sales keep declining!

I want the names and addresses of those millions NOW!

We ran it internally for a bit using Tomcat and MySql.
The last I remember it was free for use for less than 10 users.
Because if Vista rates an Athalon 64, with a gig of RAM and 248MB of video RAM as 4 on 10, I wonder what it expects a 10 to be!

Hardly what I would call "programming".
