The difference is that you can visit a website without adding it to your Springboard. You can't try an app, however, without adding it to your Springboard. I'm weighing requirements vs. options.

"Easily", but not "instantly". If you download an app, it goes to your Springboard till you remove it. If you visit a web page, it doesn't go to your Springboard till you take action and bookmark it. But yes, the "apple-touch-icon" is a nic

The fact that Google is utilizing HTML5 client-side storage is cool. The emphasis this article places on a nonexistent battle between the App Store and web apps is misleading. Google didn't "sidestep" the App Store. Google took advantage of

The graph is less helpful without a nightly-to-nightly comparison. Safari 4.0 beta was released recently, but is still using technology from a much older WebKit nightly.

Agh! Good point! Some kind of regex should definitely be included.

I have vague memories of acrostics I formed for study in college...and not-so-trivially muddling them ;) I still agree with you that this kind of phrasal munging is a good method, but I also think haddock has the slight, memorable edge :)

It's unfortunate that Haskell's Haddock wasn't Haddoc or Hadoc. "Haddock" made the most sense to me as a name for a blathering password generator (with those nods to the Marx Bros. and Hergé). I've named the command-line utility "ha-gen", t

I'm only suggesting an implementation that is transparent for the user. 10 would probably be just fine, but 25 would be closer to an impossible situation without significantly increasing the odds of a successful attack.

A very good point, though I would encourage something closer to 25 or 100 login attempts. Don't punish clumsy users for having a secure password, but prevent brute-forces by all means.

I suppose I should provide more warning in the documentation itself. It is an easily resolvable issue, though, as you point out.

Yeah. I addressed that in the post. The odds are low, though, and come on, most users would have a good laugh ;)

This first version is really just a quick emulation of Apple's version. There are a few simple security improvements that could be made without reducing memorability too much (dropping vowels, toggling case, swapping vowels for numbers that

Try Safari 4 on your Mac or PC; or just look at the screenshots in the footnote. The latest nightly of Google Chrome also works. I cooked this up as a quick little demo. It uses :hover and :active, which wouldn't work well on the iPhone eve
