That sounds good, as long as you don't go on the internet and talk shit about the user if it is detected. Popping a message like this would be good: "Sorry, this section of the app is incompatible with IAPCracker. Please contact support if

I don't think adding the TLD is really what should be looked at here. Please consider just making the suggestion not overlay the password box. It should be a suggestion, not a block.

Not quite the same. "Hey, this site is music but with a V instead of a U. Check it out." I go to http://www.mvsic.com/ and it's a Go Daddy parking page. Oh well. User lost. You and I don't think like this, but many users do.

Does anyone know if DigitalPersona readers, such as the one in my HP TouchSmart tm2t tablet, are similarly insecure? They seem to not need the Windows password to configure, but I could be mistaken.

I don't think tabs with tab recovery is always equivalent to a bookmark list. Personally, I have 30-40 tabs open. This is because I have several projects I work on, any of which I may research in 10 or more tabs. When I switch between proje
