Sites that use “login with Facebook” or other services don’t need (shouldn’t ever possess) your password. It’s done through a token, so you login to Facebook, and Facebook hands an authorization token back to the service.

I get it, but again, I don’t feel like I’m obligated to use a service just because someone gets paid to provide it.

Between work travel, and extensive personal travel, I have stayed in countless hotel rooms.

No, it doesn’t require a controller. The controller is optional.

Have you tried a game streaming service?

I’m sorry, but I can’t take on the obligation to raise everyone’s salary to a living wage.

I leave the DND sign up because I prefer they stay out. It’s not that I am hiding anything, I would just prefer they not come in, and I don’t need the service. I realize it’s not a legally binding contract. In all the many, many hotels I have stayed at, I have never come back to find my room clean when I left the DND…

Interesting article - I actually never knew that Pyrex was no longer borosilicate, despite owning a number of Pyrex items and being an engineer (so you’d think I would have researched better).

I understand the sarcasm, I am objecting to that. I don’t see this as a stupid design at all; if you want a front-facing camera, at some point there needs to be space dedicated for it.

How would bezels make this better?

Of course you’re correct there. But the issue is that some people are unwilling or unable to use anything that’s not easily memorable.

Attackers can’t crack “part” of a password, so if your password is the year you lost your virginity, the engine code for your Toyota’s mass airflow sensor, and your great-grandfather’s initials... well, that’s probably okay. If…

This kind of belies a misunderstanding of the problem.

Song phrases are not good passwords. They might appear to be, because of the length, but modern password crackers incorporate large volumes of cultural phrases (including things like song lyrics).

I mean, Google doesn’t have an appalling history of human rights violations, so I’m not sure if that’s a tongue-in-cheek question or if you just haven’t thought about it.

I think there’s plenty of room here for HoloLens to become a platform for many uses, so I don’t see the problem with providing a little evidence that it could be used for games. Hell, there are plenty of enterprises out there who are creating games.

Yet towards the end of today’s event, Microsoft began to confuse its own message by talking about something that might make enterprise customers nervous—an open ecosystem.

Understanding vesting is important, but predicting the tax rates a decade or more out from retirement is an exercise in futility. Especially since your 401k income may vary from year to year as your expense vary.
