You can already do multiple Gmail users. Try https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1 and see what you get. I know you can get to multiple logins through Gmail settings, but the link works quickly for me. Increment the final digit for more. Your "other services" would still be a problem, though.

*and* a truckload of venture capital. The US Gov'mnt (and taxpayers) weren't the only saps that lost money on the deal. Banks usually follow the lead of VC's in startups since they really don't know industries very well. Banks offer loans when money is close to being made, not in the earliest stages.

I may have mis-typed. Google doesn't seem to care which generated password you use. You could just generate one password and use it for every single-factor login. Or you could generate a new one for every service. Either way, when you generate a password, you can "name" it whatever you want -- "Home Laptop Thunderbird IMAP", "SmartPhone Google Reader App", whatever. I don't think Google cares which one you use for which service. It allows you to name them for your own bookkeeping.

... or screws up. That's usually what it takes for this sort of thing. As long as iOS and Android are working pretty well, there's really no need to switch. And since people in the US are often tied to 2-year contracts, one of them would have to screw up for a *long time* before they have customers jumping ship.

You (and I) are an edge case. You really need to think about the millions of people for whom Excel is the most complicated program. That's really 99% of the user base. I'm worried about the future when the PC I want is not available for a reasonable price since most people are getting one of 6 models of mass-produced tablets.

He isn't an expert at anything, and I wouldn't trust him as an expert.

BUT...

He does seem to have a knack for the tech-interested masses, the ones that spend money on tech devices and there are many of them. How many iPhone users read Slashdot? Not many. How many iPhones have sold? Exactly. His opinion is worth watching for his marketing perspective, not his technical expertise.

Yeah, she's a winner:

"I concur in full based upon what I know about mental illness only and feel that she has just scratched the surface. I think that Obama is a devil worshipping psychopath who has lost his marbles and is very very dangerous. His psychological profile equals that of Kim Jong (14 personality disorders) and Hitler. I think he’s worse."
