One of my backup emails has been hacked. Admittedly the password was very weak, but I only had it to register with freecycle. No contacts or sensitive info at risk.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Do you have many accounts or logins? If so consider a password manager.

I have a couple of email accounts and do use a password manager, so I'm not concerned about their security whatsoever. The account in question had been forgotten about for 4 years.

Why Vodafone updated the HTC Wildfire to Android 2.2, but never released am update with Google Play rather than Android Market. I've just had to download Whatsapp from the whatsapp website (for my wife's phone) as it doesn't appear on Market.

In which case it will probably have little impact. When I switched to my password manager it was a lot of work going through every single website and changing passwords to something as strong as possible. While it might make little sense for some fun site, it does keep you in the frame of mind to make the most of the password manager. By having ultra strong passwords you do not need to worry about changing them so often.

Why the hell didn't I take this week off? It's a pissy day in every sense and I've got DVD rentals to watch...

Better to watch them on a pissy day than when it's sunny?

TLC Launches in the UK and we get a blow up pig and a small bag of sweets.
The US offices got huge tables laden with cakes, biscuits and other goodies.
I've just been told the UK didn't have a big budget. Why? It was OUR LAUNCH!
Hmmph!
