What's wrong with creating a shortcut to the safely remove hardware dialog and assigning a hot key?

Posting from a cellphone appears to have been fixed. The spurious formatting errors have gone and that's great.

Just wonderin' how this will affect the people who use Square (and other dimensions/shapes) readers with their phones. Looks like the phone user will pay for the newer chip-reading technology.

After they'd stolen your phone :)

Can I revoke rights in Twitter similarly to how you say can be done in Facebook?

The thing is I'm mouthy and if I created a Facebook account just so I could log in here none of the guys who regularly like to insult me would be able to find me :)

In other news Gawker are changing their OAuth login system to force you to give them write access to your Twitter account. Seem like a case of badly misplaced priorities when their system is accessible to spammers like this guy. It's not like this is something new. Preventing spam is a security issue and should be…
