When you are at a public access terminal, it’s very possible that a keylogger is sniffing your keyboard. But sometimes it’s just so convenient that you have to use one of these machines anyway. To try and beat it, do the following:

1 Open notepad
2 Type part of your password in the password window
3 Using the mouse, go to the notepad window
4 Type some nonsense characters
5 Using the mouse, return to the password window

Repeat steps 2-5 a few times.

Make sure that the password window doesn’t show your password on the screen because bad people might have put a program on your computer that takes screenshots every few seconds.

If you haven’t heard of it, Lazyweb is a cool. Check it out.

I just went to pay a parking ticket and I ran into this rigged survey on San Francisco’s city web site.

You’ll notice two things. First, the “Highly Valuable” radio button is already pre-clicked for me. That was considerate of them, wasn’t it? Second, notice that two of the three options are positive. That’s like saying, “Using only the numbers 3, 7, or 10, rate our service on a scale from 1 to 10.”

Grrrr.

I haven’t tried it yet but I just dig the idea of a completely portable yet stylish loveseat that fits easily in the trunk of your car with lots of room to spare. (and < $40 new!) Playatech
