Net shoppers bullied into being Verified by Visa

what a prat

What is it with the British and the dogged avoidance of things related to security?

I worked on deploying a 3d Secure system 3 years ago and while it may not be ultra secure and open to potential attacks it is still better than nothing.

Sometimes you just have to do it. By the way it was never intended by Vis or MasterCard that it stay opt-in. it was just until people got used to the idea.

Steve complain about something else, and Reg editors stop given screen space to whiners. i come here for a sceptical look at real news.

Mine's the one with the ID card in it, (since I am an immigrant I should be getting mine in November along with the airport workers)

Apple's 3G iPhone to launch 11 July

Where is the 3G Blackberry?

I have used 2 Blackberries a Nokia e61 etc and believe that the BB has the Nokia licked on most features. But as a frequent traveller I believe that I would be better served by an iPhone Saves on devices to carry etc.

I laugh at the fact though that everyone takes pot shots at Apple when RIM is also behind in the 3G race my BB also only has a 2MP camera. So what. If I am travelling this is fine if I want to take nice photos I get my DSLR out.

Brits split on ID cards

Come on..

As a South African I have lived with a Government ID book my whole life. In the past it contained, Drivers Licence, Firearm permits etc. (the older generation called it the "Book of Life"). It was proven so fallible that the Drivers licence and all the rest were removed and issued as separate cards. It is still used to prove ID for banking transactions etc.
