1password is the bomb. I love it.

I heard some like lastpass

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That looks perfect. I'll give it a try.

1password looks expensive--it looks like I have to buy it for every platform ($40, $40, $10) where I can enter passwords, and I can only view for now on Android.

If I read Keeper Password Vault right, the client is free, but you pay for the cloud synching ($10/year). So it would be about ten years before this solution was the pricier one. eta: No, it's $10/device/year. How irritating.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Okay, mom loves 1password but I don't think she's had to buy it for multiple plats. Or that she even paid $40 for it. Let me ping her and ask.

Not, it should be said, that I am adverse to paying for things that are useful or work for me. But I'd be hesitant, personally, about paying a not small sum for at least three devices...

I'd rather spend that money buying diner for Scola. I mean, it's not worth it for at least four licenses, even with the bundle cost. I'll just retype instead.

All iOS and Android browsers should come with the option to spoof desktops. Some websites (io9, deviantArt) are very condescending.

XKCD shoots both sides in the Mac/PC war. [link]

What sort of issue could cause some of the devices on my network (wired and wireless) to not see the internet? My main PC goes blind from time to time (wired), and my work PC laptop is doing it right now. Never happens to the mobile devices or the Mac.

Judging from the steps that the Windows Network Diagnostics just took, the default gateway was unavailable. Except--totally available. Why should it go off for some computers?

Has anyone here ever used Rainmeter on their PC? I don't use my PC at home as much as I used to, but this looks kinda cool.
