No. The whole point of the OAuth protocol that Google, Facebook, and Twitter use for things like this is that they never show your password to the sites (like Jezebel) that use the login service. (When you type in your Google password, you're typing in a browser window pointing directly at Google.) All Jezebel has to…

That's because it's impossible to rape a corporation.

Were you two here for the big security breach? Everybody who had a Gawker commenter account had to get new passwords for LinkedIn, Yahoo, and other sites that were worried about reused passwords. Even those of who did everything right were affected.

What's well known isn't always true. Facebook has way more security features than most sites, but most users don't bother with them.

No, because the Facebook (and Twitter) give Gawker "read-only" permission, without the power to post to Facebook. Here is exactly what permission it asked me for on Facebook:

It will not happen, because the Facebook and Twitter give Gawker "read-only" permission, without the power to post to Facebook or Twitter. Here is exactly what permission it asked me for on Facebook:

Probably best not to link to your regular email account, unless you want all these social media platforms to have access to your entire email history.

I use Firefox, and it's working fine for me.

The Facebook and Twitter "apps" don't even give Gawker posting permission. They're "read-only." (In fact, the Facebook app asks for the bare minimum an app can ask for — it only gets permission to read the same basic info that any stranger looking at your Facebook profile can see.)

And then they'll demand the original registration and bill of sale, to prove the car wasn't paid for by Bill Ayers.

Rick Santorum is fundamentally unable to understand a woman's viewpoint, no matter how loudly she may sing it.

None of those things would change when the Presidential election occurs. The U.S. Constitution and federal law define the presidential line of succession to eighteen places, and two of those are congressional officers (Speaker of the House and President pro tempore).

I agree with this story, if only because it supports my dislike for Robert Scoble, the man who got Internet-famous mostly by complaining that Facebook would only let him have 5,000 friends.

Yeah, somebody needs to research "number of friends as a function of user age." Adults probably should have more friends than kids, just because they've had more time to meet people.

Yet another reason I can't run for President. I totally suck at making up nicknames.

Robert Kirkman's explanation of all those non-zombie corpses is they're people who couldn't become zombies because they had died of head trauma, and all the fans are just too unobservant to notice head trauma.

Not true. Some of the shots during the the drive-by shooting scene were chest hits.

The fact that he didn't die first (and actually seems to be the soul survivor) is why I'm willing to give the filmmakers the benefit of the doubt for now. They might be setting up a "defy expectations" gag where the character we think is a cliché turns into Astronaut Action Hero.

Potential confusion with what? Seriously, do you think setting the film during an actual election year would confuse people into voting for Sarah Palin?

And talks like a stereotypical "comic relief black guy" character. Hopefully, the character is a spoof of that kind of character, and not just the work of a lame writer who thinks that "comic relief black guy" is actually funny.
