A little while back, I posted an entry on password security, and how many folks rely on passwords that were used for multiple applications, ie. same password for email, online banking and wireless network, and were too weak in that they were easily brute-forced (short passwords like "1234") or easily guessed based upon readily available personal information, ie. wife's birthday or your pet's name.

Perhaps you didn't know, but NBC is "delaying" certain Olympic events so that they can air them during US prime time. What this means is that Americans who rely on TV as their only source of Olympic coverage find out about exciting wins up to 8 hours after it actually happens. Now unless you happen to be one of the 8 people left in the US who don't use the internet, it's kind of hard to avoid news of the Olympics.
