PasswordMaker works a bit like that, although in a much more lightweight way, making a hash of the site's domain name + the master password you enter each time. The downside is that it doesn't easily work everywhere due to stupid rules like

The problem with Google Glass is its recording abilities. If I invite a few friends at my home, I don't want them to come with all of Youtube. My home has opaque walls for a reason. I know there will be a LED on while filming but it's way t

I discover almost all new music via Twitter, be it by following other musicians who share who they like or magazines like Pitchfork who publish critics. Both musicians and magazines are businesses selling something. Just today I discovered

I don't like Persona, personally. Email is not an identity. When we connect with email and passwords, both fields are keys (in the open-the-door metaphor). To make the password a secret key, we can't check it for uniqueness so we need a les

I'm not OP but presumably: homeworks are done alone at home whereas professional works are done within a team at a workplace. Procrastination is the demotivating consequence of working alone, isolated.

JetBrains does have an (abandoned) rss reader. I tried it before deciding Thunderbird was better since I already use it for mail. http://www.jetbrains.com/omea/

It's quite probable that those companies are pushing for MPEG4 because they paid millions to licence it and they don't want to pay for another codec. There's no way to know if the promised patent-free codecs are really patent-free.

Tip to those farmers: you can now sell your products as organic food, at a higher price. The article is quite misleading, though. Sugar isn't used as a pesticide. It's a way to control the ecosystem, like introducing a new species to prey o

I think the main problem is that companies have their website designed for large screens only. Since it sucks on mobile screens, they then build an app instead of redesigning their website so that it works on little screens. The most famous

They have a local monopoly on their hardware. It's like cable companies: there may be several of them in a country but if there's only one in each city, they have a local monopoly that they can abuse.

One thing I find weird is that it doesn't display the full URL in the URL bar, only the domain and the page title.

I remember a paper, from Microsoft I think, where the proposed method was to keep a list of all passwords and prevent any password to be used more than X times. This way no password becomes common. But it would likely be frustrating for use

Realistic porn is an already existing subset of porn. A maybe counter-intuitive effect of filmmaking is that well-produced films in the likes of x-art.com appear more realistic and cute than what amateurs upload. A good director will make u

Yes, both WP8 and Windows 8 start screens look like walls of blinking Flash banners to me. I won't judge a GUI without having actually used it, but it sure doesn't give me a good first impression.

Yes, the equivalent of web ads would be ads displayed in a little square on the corner of our TV. We would ignore this square and focus on the main content instead. TV ads are efficient because they interrupt the program and takeover the wh

The best way to push the adoption of GPG is through a HTML5 crypto API that would include it. A social network or email service that doesn't work in the browser would be inaccessible from cyber-cafés or from work (two of the most popular ac

I used Zenbe's webmail when it was free and it did just this. Now their site is off and I've learned they have been acquired by Facebook in 2010.
