_zieon The iPhone Upgrade Program is being replaced by Apple Upgrade

"If you’re leasing an iPhone, you’ll need to connect to AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon when you enroll."

Damn, this is the dealbreaker for me.

Leasing an unlocked iPhone and being able to use my current $25/mo MVNO of choice (US Mobile) may have actually tempted me (I currently buy outright and then tell myself I'll sell my current phone when I upgrade, but in reality I just have iPhone graveyard at home.)

_zieon Introducing .app, a more secure home for apps on the web

Confirmed that gandi.net does support it

_zieon Wordpress.com was storing passwords in plain text

I was admittedly a little heavy handed on the sarcasm (it's been a long day).

Absolutely appreciate that they were open and honest about this and that it was discovered during an audit and fixed.

Sigh was more that best practices may or may not have been followed up to this point, and there are likely many other companies with similar holes that may not have been as proactive or transparent as WP.
