The word privacy is thrown around all over the internet, usually accompanied by fingerpointing and all too often heavy lawsuits. But what does private really mean in a Web 2.0 world? Do you have any of the following accounts (or all of them) – YouTube, MySpace, Facebook? These sites are slowly redefining your privacy and [...]
The average person has quite a bit to memorize just to get through a normal day: ATM PINs, voice mail access codes, coupon codes, bicycle lock combinations, student/work ID numbers, phone numbers, sometimes even a PIN just to turn your phone on… You get the idea.

Follow-up to the last post, the billing system is completely functional again. Happy Tuesday!
