Microsoft Wants To Give You A Rorschach 223
Preedit writes "Microsoft has set up a website that uses inkblot images to help users create passwords. The site asks users view a series of inkblots and write down the first and last letters of whatever word they associate with each inkblot. Then they combine the letters to form a password. Microsoft claims it's a way to create passwords that are easy to remember but hard to crack. But a word of warning, the story notes that Microsoft is collecting and storing users' word associations."
Submission + - Mozilla exec claims Apple is hunting open source
Rob writes: Apple chief Steve Jobs expects to do more than lure Internet Explorer users to Apple's
forthcoming version of Safari for Windows — he envisions a duopoly within the browser
market at the expense of FireFox and others, according to Mozilla COO John Lilly. Lilly
pointed to a pie graph representing the browser market that Jobs showed at last week's
Apple developers' conference. The graph was made up with just two browsers: Safari and
Internet Explorer. The graph "betrays the way that Apple, so often looks at the
world," Lilly said. "But make no mistake: this wasn't a careless presentation,
or an accidental omission of all the other browsers out there, or even a crummy marketing
trick," he said. "Lots of words describe Steve and his Stevenotes, but
'careless' and 'accidental' do not. This
is, essentially, the way they're thinking about the problem, and shows the users they want
to pick up."
Journal Journal: My CD and the Slashdot Kool-Aid
Today I drank the slashdot kool-aid and made my CD downloadable on a try-before-you-buy basis. The whole CD is up as a 50MB zip file containing all 11 songs - in high quality MP3 format (we used lame with the "-V2 --vbr-new" flags) - no DRM, copy protection blah, blah.
