Originally posted 2011-06-01 20:11:40. I've talked about aggregation as a coming trend (really a game-changing trend as data and content grow exponentially) but I also need to address convergence. When I started my product development company, Q2 Labs, in 2005, my partner and I had a clear idea of what convergence was: broadband, wireless, and [...]

How To: Creating Strong Passwords

Posted in How-Tos

Originally posted 2011-07-14 13:35:29. Creating secure passwords can be a real pain. But remembering them is even worse! Of course, there are lots of password generators out there and software to help you manage a "master" password (that grants you access to all your other passwords) but ultimately you are in the same boat: creating [...]
