I too have Ooma but their new Telo device is prone to failure. I'm working on my third box in the seven months I'm been with them. The first device was DOA, the second one died this past Sunday and I'm still haggling with customer support to get a replacement. I was lured in with the very, very low monthly cost but if I have to waste time and effort getting a replacement box it just isn't worth it.

I was on Vonage for six years prior to switching to Ooma and never had any equipment failure. I may just port my number to Google Voice and go back to Vonage.

Submission + - Sun Java is the most vulnerable plug-in (net-security.org) 1

dinscott writes: Wondering how secure your browser is? Research show that browsers and plug-ins are frequently outdated and easily attackable. To make things worse, malware authors adapt quickly and most of their new attacks are against browser plug-ins.

The problem is that people might remember to update the browser, but forget to do the same with the plug-ins — and they are not typically updated by the browser itself. And while everybody knows about the hackers' predilection for targeting Adobe Flash, data shows that Sun Java is by far the most vulnerable plug-in installed in browsers.

Submission + - Google Announces One Pass Payment System (blogspot.com)

eldavojohn writes: Riding the tail of Apple's 30% announcement, Google's Eric Schmidt has announced One Pass, a new method for users to pay for content. The BBC is reporting that Google is taking a 10% cut. One Pass will work on Google sites and on phones and tablets as the announcement notes: 'Readers who purchase from a One Pass publisher can access their content on tablets, smartphones and websites using a single sign-on with an email and password. Importantly, the service helps publishers authenticate existing subscribers so that readers don't have to re-subscribe in order to access their content on new devices.' This is to be handled through Google Checkout.
