"Never entering your credentials on a non-Facebook site is very good advice, which most users should know by now and should adhere to. The problem is that Facebook do not seem to support these same principals when it comes to a users credentials from other sites, such as a users Google username and password, which Facebook requests when a user imports their contacts."

Still, there's just something very enticing about a 5-inch VGA display, built-in GPS, HSDPA, WiFi, Bluetooth and a full-blown QWERTY keyboard, is there not? For you folks who plunked down quite a few bills in order to bring this home, how ...

There was once a mom and pop kind of web shop selling auction products, making money through the affiliate commissions. She (the wife) would do the design and customer contacts, and he (the husband) would do the programming of the site. Mind you, they had no products of their own.

For example, starting with phrase "Lifehacker helps me get things done.", I converted my existing password "mysecretpassword" into the much less crackable "bs3rK@y4wB@yP8s68iueKK!3vB4MF". For the analog among us, you can even print off the password chart to store or keep with you. For a ...
