   We're glad you've noticed. There's lot more to come in the next 6-9 months, and beyond. Signed, A kinder, gentler Death Star

   Indeed a good idea. Every quarter or so I do lists of Top 3 this and the Esssential 5 that, pulled from this list.

   Agreed, at some point with some categories I admit in the post that I'm just collecting and reviewing tools, RegEx ones are a good example, for fun. Other times two or three tools exist because there is a specific gap in one filled by anoth

   It's pretty well maintained. I run not only PowerShell and Cygwin but straight DOS and sometimes I like having, for example, baretail in the path, rather than messing with Cygwin. Also I keep the loose cmd line utils in dropbox and in the p

   Thanks, I'm a responsive design fan and worked hard on that. Thanks for noticing. :)

   Ya, I think grayscale or false-colored images would help.

   Well said. I wasn't trying to say DropBox is the only or the first. They had the will and attention to detail that so so many sites don't.

   We all moved with him. All of IIS and ASP.NET works for ScottGu. In fact, all Angle Brackets are under ScottGu, myself included. Our org chart: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/content/binary/Windows-Live-Wr...

    Thanks for the update. Point taken, and touché. That is funny/ironic. Would be equally as much were I to work at Apple, Amazon or Google, I suppose. I spoke to Zach beforehand and wasn't intending to call him out (which I thought I made cle

    It's a coincidence. Not everything in my life has to do with my employer. FWIW, note that I work from home on open source and many of our projects are on GitHub. Zach and I are cool. No one's in a twist, we just differ on how to reach an au

    It was written completely from a sincere place. I used to study linguistics and 10 years ago was pretty darn good at languages. I see dudes like Tim Ferriss saying they can learn a new language in three months (I question this) and I speak

    Sure, my hope is that if they emailed me (NOT at mobile me email, but a non-Apple address) at my Gmail which is setup for 2-factor, for confirmation that'd be ideal. The irony is that they are all setup for 2-factor auth...the phones I have

    One other thing, please feel free to include links to my "often run" anti-Google and anti-Apple posts. Perhaps ones like these guides [0] or [1]. [0] Migrating a Family to Google Apps from Gmail, Thunderbird, Outlook and others: The Definit

    I appreciate your concern. However, in fact, I have NEVER worked for Developer and Platform Evangelism or anywhere near that division in any capacity. I worked for the Developer Division under ScottGu when I first arrived, then moved to MSD

    Must be via reuse, as they lock out after the third fail. My concern is that it was a site-unique password.

    by shanselman 15y ago

    If it was a reused password, I'm an idiot. But, I'm willing to assume I am an idiot. My point is two-fold: 1. Allowing new devices to buy stuff without two-factor auth is weak sauce. 2. The larger meta-point that when we rely on the cloud i

    This seems plausible, but I don't use the same passsword between sites. Hm...

    Preferably my Google Apps account, for which I have two factor auth enabled. Or perhaps my SmartCard enabled work email. Or even my SMS 2-factor Facebook email.

    LOL, seriously? Kept-blogger? That's a new one. My blog stands alone. It's been around 9 years, and years before I started at MSFT and it'll be around years after I quit. As for the Tumblr, I created that at the suggestion of my friend Anil

    Ironically, the receipt JUST showed up now.

    Of course. A simple email with a confirm link would solve this.

    That makes sense! I've removed all payment instruments at this point and remain disabled until I hear from Apple.

    I am blaming Apple for: * the fact they "allow the purchase first" and "warn later." * their warning email has no fraud or dispute mechanism * I've never purchased a game like this so they my usage pattern should be a red flag Apple should

    No, there are no credit cards attached to my account. The commenter is mistaken. I also haven't received an emailed receipt so I suspect a larger backend hack. My systems are secure.
