I find that this is a pretty hard comparison to draw from person to person. Everyone everyone’s offices are different, even in an open office concept and everyone’s home environments are different. Kids, significant others, pets, errands, chores… they can all affect distractions at home, just the same as a chatty coworker.

I used to work at Uber and we would see similar behavior from drivers at airports. There would be a geofence around the parking lots where drivers had to wait before they could be sent a ride. However, the app would still send a ride to the closest available driver, so they would all lean their phones against the gate to get as close to the edge of the geofence as possible.

Ultimately, Uber implemented a FIFO queue at these lots, meaning a driver was added to a waiting list as soon as they entered the lot, thus removing the need for this behavior anymore.

Agreed. I (unluckily) signed a new lease in March, not thinking this was going to go on for quite so long. Before I actually moved in, I was able to negotiate a free month, but it looks like my building is now offering 6-8 free weeks, but the base rent hasn't actually changed.

I don't think I have either Realty.com or Realtor.com in my history and I was able to reproduce. In the video, it looks like he tries it on a few devices at the Apple Store, which likely have little history.

I just tried this on Safari on my phone - I was sent to Realtor.com as well. I tried it a few times and was redirected each time, even though I typed "realty.com" in the URL bar (and it didn't auto-correct before I hit "Go").

I've got a custom domain that's very similar to a law office & the owner of the law office and I have the same name, so I often get emails from the courthouse, clients, other lawyers, etc who must have written his email address down (he appends `law` to the end of the domain, while I do not).

I'm very frequently forwarding these messages and saying "I've deleted this on my personal account", but they don't seem to stop - has been happening for years. Seems like something he would want fixed.

One time, I even responded to another lawyer to tell him and he thought I was the intended owner and started riffing with me over email!

I've been trying to remember the name of that game for years! Loved it when I was a kid.

While I see the argument that this the title is link-bait, I don't think they are necessarily trying to overstate it's significance -- how would you title an article like this without it sounding like link-bait?

It's just showing some of the backlash to Apple's decision. It may not be a significant percentage, but who knows what other potential purchasers may follow suit.

I agree - I don't use a password manager, but I find this to be the best option. I would suggest using email vs having the user create a username (email is always unique, but when you have a common name and your username is sometimes taken, you have to choose a secondary or tertiary username, which can get confusing).

I don't have any problems wit Facebook/Twitter logins, but I would suggest holding back on the permissions requests. If I see that a website wants to have the ability to post as me or invite friends as me, etc., I will think twice about accepting. If they just want to access my name/email for auth reasons, I'm usually happy to do so.

I like OpenID, but am not sure if it is as widespread among the average user (especially vs Facebook or Twitter) an having that as the only login option may shy people away a bit.

Haven't used BrowserID, so personally I wouldn't use it. I don't know the numbers on this one, but you may get a specific demographic of users if you go with this one.

That's not necessarily true -- it doesn't allow you to eliminate all uppercase // lowercase situations. You still have to have the correct casing, just inverted (as though Caps Lock was on). Since my FB password has both uppercase and lowercase letters, the inverted case would still have uppercase and lowercase. There is no option that I can use for my current password that is all lowercase or all uppercase.

Very impressed with the new features. It looks great and is very usable for a web interface.
