Droid Does

I just came across this commercial by Verizon advertising their phone - Motorola Droid. The specs are impressive, but the video commercial is one more page in the chapter of product bashings. "I am Mac" and "I am PC" weren't enough?

The Addon bloat

Suddenly I noticed the status bar of Firefox. It was a shock to see so many icons just littered on the right side. I never paid attention to this section, using the one as and when required.


I opened Addon Manager to find the list of Addons which I kept on installing as I needed.
  1. Adblock Plus
  2. Echofon
  3. Firebug
  4. Googlegears
  5. Greasemonkey
  6. IdentiFox
  7. is.gd Creator
  8. Prism
  9. Scribefire
  10. Sxipper
  11. User-agent switcher
  12. Weave

12 Addons!!!  This list is more of a FAIL. The problem is that I use all of them, so can't remove any.

The Bday card from my Team

The Birthday card shown above was gifted by my collegues (read team members).
I think they still feel I am a kid. Obviously, I am one of the youngest employee in my office including the other freshers.

Indyarocks password stored in plain text?

I just got an SMS from Indyarocks which was mere a reminder that my password would be archived in 7 days. I need to login to keep it active and then they even sent the username and password in the SMS itself. The SMS is as follows:

Your Free SMS account on Indyarocks.com will be archived in 7 days. Login now to keep it active. Ur Login Id: ManishSinha pwd: *****

Looks like Indyarocks stores the password in plain text and not the hash value. Should I feel insecure?

I created this account last year to get updates related to placement from our Placement Department but never ever logged in.
