Wrong, the Commonwealth Bank (bank in TFA ) offer 2FA hardware tokens (à la SecureID) as an alternative to NetCode (the 2FA used in this instance). They offer this primarily to customers travelling overseas (and can't/don't want roaming) or those who are frequently out of coverage zones.It's free, too.

No, they won't. When Android was catching up to iOS no money was made by anyone until critical mass was reached. Most users on mobile platforms do not pay for any applications which makes critical mass very important.

Android vs Windows Phone free apps - A case study: Part II. Free apps are yielding great returns on WP7 because the market place is that much less saturated. Although WP7 is far from "critical mass", in 30 days WP7 revenue for this free app was $108.55 with 114,920 impressions vs. Android's $3.44 of revenue and 11,606 impressions. This is just one case study and there are a lot more. Decent money is being made now, even with 3-5% marketshare.

American here.

Most banks offer at least 3 months - 1 year of your account(s) history through their online database. This is for a free checking account from my experience. Beyond that you can only get the document in paper and you have to pay for it.

To put it into perspective - the Commonwealth Bank of Australia offer 7 years of statements online for free - even on fee-free accounts. They also allow you to search for previous transactions freely. They probably charge to print out a copy and send it to you, but with online statements going back that far and the ability to export to PDF and CSV - most people easily avoid the fee.

Well, that explains why a significant amount of machines at work suspiciously fall apart this week. We had Windows core-files like uxtheme.dll go missing and a range of other BSODs. I actually have more faith in the upcoming Microsoft Security Essentials than I do with VSE at this point in time. It will surely be easier to administer across the domain than VSE is now.
