Use two factor where possible, but for the password, here's an easy format that I use to generate a strong and (somewhat) unique password per site:

1. Choose you paraphrase - something like "I like long walks on the beach after seven"

2. Take the first letters to give you something like this: iLLwotBa7

3. Throw a symbol on the end: iLLwotBa7?

4. Append a 3 letter site name acroym in a similar way to the phrase (I use 3 for consistency): iLLwotBa7?hkn

5. Throw on another symbol: Append a 3 letter site name acroym in a similar way to the phrase (I use 3 for consistency): iLLwotBa7?hkn!

That's what I do, so I only have to remember the 3 letter for each site. Here's some more: Reddit - rdt, Gmail - gml, etc.

This bet is a self serving purpose - it brings attention to Bitcoins with outlandish claims which will get media coverage. This brings more people to the table to drive the value up as they purchase BTC on speculation only.

I can't imagine them doing it either, but the PR would certainly be incredibly epic and a nod to the quality of the indie game scene.

PS: My introduction of "fairy tale ending" was chosen specifically to reinforce the unlikeliness!

From my perspective, a fairy tale ending would be for EA to take Zynga to the cleaners, then cut a check to every independent label that Zynga has copied off in the past, or start some sort of fund for independent game companies. EA are still going to make a few bucks, but it will help the wider community.

Is that not the same principal? Person X chooses career Y and must obtain a certification through path Z.

After a 7 year programming hiatus from my college CS degree (never ended up coding professionally), I am learning RoR through CodeSchool.com's tutorials and it's fantastic. The best part is you can speak to a real person for help by calling RailsHotline.com, they only ask that you donate minutes in return.

I am currently up to 'Rails for Zombies 2', and while it is very beginner focused, I'm comfortable to look through API docs to work out what I need to use, I have a grasp of MVC and I'm acquainted with basic github functionality.

It's fun. It's never going to be "5 minute abs", but that's a good thing.

Maybe the Square app initiates hardware encryption in the reader. Therefore, without the app, it's not enabled.

The OMGPOP team is probably reading this from their Ferrari's as they are parked outside the Yacht dealership.

If QR codes were automatically detected with the iPhone camera app, they would boom.

95 percent of the problem is non-tech people don't know they need an app to scan or can't be bothered with getting one.

I've literally seen a friend of mine try to take a photo of a QR code and complain it doesn't work.

It's like having a PC without a web browser -- what the hell do you do with a URL then?

I can't agree more.

I love Pandora for the guidance.

WAH is available on Spotify, which is good (I used them before Spotify), but it's very niche indie discovery.

I can't select a Temptations song and expect to be then offered up a Clarence Carter or Tower of Power hit.

Only Pandora has those "skillz".

I understand this is the digital age, but I personally wouldn't put forums and socializing on campus in the same value category.

Both points are valid, but I think we need to accept there are pros and cons, rather than comparing apples and oranges.

I don't think I would move due to the multitude of family/friends, but Facebook will die off when there is an open social networking framework.

I see it like shoes. You wear Nike, your friend wears Adidas, but you can still walk together. You can connect across networks, tag photos across networks, etc. You will have your personal page but it's really just a place to rest your head - your 'Newsfeed' aggregates all your friends activity from whatever network they're on. It won't matter what shoes you wear, just get a pair and go walking.
