I've been in hundreds of meetings (literally) where someone has logged into an account in front of us using the projector. Whether this was a windows account or a website (as the author is talking about) password masking was in play. Password masking is a good thing. Someone shouldn't have to reset their password every time they demonstrate something at a meeting because everyone watches them type in their clear text password. If someone is incapable of typing in their password without seeing it on the screen in front of them then perhaps they shouldn't be using computers.

I'm sure the buggy makers fought to keep their market share once the automobile industry started to dominate the market and we all know how well that worked out. CNN makes a metric buttload of money from ads online as probably do a lot of other news and pseudo news organizations. Newspapers can wall up their content instead of going to an online ad based revenue stream and kill themselves off altogether. The bottom line is news happens and there will be free sources to view it such as CNN. I'm not ever going to pay for online content.
