<description><![CDATA[The folks over at Imperva have recently conducted a detailed analysis of a truckload of weak and compromised passwords.
The report found the following to be the most popular choices:

123456
12345
123456789
password
iloveyou
princess
rockyou
1234567
12345678
abc123
nicole
daniel
babygirl
monkey
jessica
lovely
michael
ashley
654321
qwerty

The most interesting thing is just how little things have changed in the last twenty years.&#160;&#160;<a href="http://lutrov.com/blog/the-worst-password-choices/" title="Read the rest of this entry" class="more">More &#187;</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Amazon has spent a good number of years building their brand. They apparently pride themselves on providing great service, and apart from some idiotic policy decisions, they probably haven&#8217;t lost too many customers.&#160;&#160;<a href="http://lutrov.com/blog/amazon-still-fails-for-australians/" title="Read the rest of this entry" class="more">More &#187;</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Is a blog without comments still a blog?
I guess it depends on who you ask. While most blogs have comments enabled, there are some very prominent bloggers who don&#8217;t offer this feature to their readers.&#160;&#160;<a href="http://lutrov.com/blog/blogging-without-comments/" title="Read the rest of this entry" class="more">More &#187;</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Now I know why brand new laptop computers have become so cheap over the last couple of years.
And it&#8217;s not due to any technological advancements. It&#8217;s due to huge amount of software crapware which the major hardware vendors, and their partners, bundle on the machines before they ship them out.&#160;&#160;<a href="http://lutrov.com/blog/why-notebooks-are-so-cheap/" title="Read the rest of this entry" class="more">More &#187;</a>]]></description>

After wrestling for some years with one of the worst browsers ever made, I&#8217;m no longer prepared to support IE6 in any way, shape or form.
The time has come to say goodbye to the long hours, stylesheet hacks and workarounds so that websites look and work as intended.&#160;&#160;<a href="http://lutrov.com/blog/no-support-for-ie6/" title="Read the rest of this entry" class="more">More &#187;</a>]]></description>
