Why newspaper web sites are best hunting site for malware: negative margin, high value traffic (prey), older readership (vulnerable), high trust site. Perfect place to lay a trap.

Duh moment while working on a spouse web service account: security questions are trivially easy for spouses to hack. So they are huge back door for spouse abuse. Could this be legal basis of getting rid of those idiotic things? #b

Rounding out this thread — If we want to drop landline & keep number our 2 best options are $20+/m for AT&T mobile/home bridge service (+$100 device) or $25+/m to add old iPhone to our MobileShare plan & make Google Voice the answering service. #b

I think AT&T unlocked my 5s when it was only 1 year into its contract. Happened because I was confused about termination date and tried an unlock. I wonder if it was side-effect of the mobileshare promo that meant we pay out-of-contract device rate.
