on-demand is the future only for certain types of programming. news, sports and 'water-cooler' shows like 'Lost' will always be watched in near real time. who watches the Super Bowl days after it occurred? there's simply no impetus to make these kinds of shows on-demand.
I can't remember the last time I went to Google's homepage. The address bar in Firefox works just as well. I've got quick searches setup for Google News(n), Google Groups(r), and of course Google(g).
You can't background check someone who would steal your client's password.
Seisint's database is bigger, faster, and better designed than any you could ever imagine. And you won't find it by googling, it's proprietary (and worth 3/4 billion dollars).
wow, you're a wordy mfer.
'[seisint was] playing fast and lose[sic] with people's personal data so that it becomes known that sloppy security and negligence in screening access'
and you know this how?
passwords were stolen from (screened) clients who access their database thousands of times a day. only when they (the clients) saw their bills did they realize thier(the clients - not seisint)'negligence'
btw, they no longer give out full SSN's.
and what 'better security' do you propose? (keep in mind you have thousands of customers)
you don't have to be a customer of lexisnexis to have your personal data stolen from seisint. Understand the lexisnexis database is completely different from seisint's.

Seisint only charges a quarter to access each record. that's only $75,000, yeah i'm sure they're real worried about the loss of revenue. (seisint is worth $775,000,000)
SEISINT of course knows who's accessing THEIR databases (NOT lexisnexis's).
and SEISINT of course knows how much data is accessed (how else would they be billed)
thousands of customers access their records millions times a day. can they tell who's using a stolen password? uh no.
"the consumers, do not share in any of the profits generated by this industry"
sure not directly, but what if your landlord doubles your rent because he keeps leasing to people who don't pay?
let's say that "proper access through only one channel" is accessed millions of times a day from thousands of customers. let's say also someone STEALS that "proper access." how would you know? how would you differentiate it from "proper access"?

and your grand proposal to replace id/passwords? exactly.

exactly; no one broke in. no intrusion detection system would ever prevent this. the passwords weren't socially engineered away. they were stolen.
