See the eye-opening chart below for some shocking crackability stats.<img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l5tr9vFR1g1qzruj5.jpg"/></p> <p>To ensure yours is as strong as possible, try this:</p> <p><i>Use a password manager, allow it to create a different random super strong password for every site and then create a super strong master password. Use an offline password manager that does not store your passwords on its servers whether encrypted or not.</i></p>http://blog.elliottheis.com/post/833565409http://blog.elliottheis.com/post/833565409Mon, 19 Jul 2010 22:50:30 +0100security<p>… was awesome</p>http://blog.elliottheis.com/post/833430927http://blog.elliottheis.com/post/833430927Mon, 19 Jul 2010 22:10:28 +0100inceptionmovies<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="225" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=13081827&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF"><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="scale" value="showAll" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=13081827&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF" /><embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=13081827&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="225"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Professional photographer Lee Morris boasts the usual arsenal of pricey cameras, but he recently ditched the high-tech equipment in favor of an iPhone 3GS. Morris posted the photographs from his low-tech shoot online, not revealing exactly how he had captured the stunning shots. The images produced by the Apple gadget’s chintzy camera wowed readers of his site, with some even calling the photos among the best shots he’d ever snapped. Morris eventually revealed the secret—which also included some mega watt lighting and a retouch artist—in a behind-the-scenes video of the shoot.</p>http://blog.elliottheis.com/post/789324412http://blog.elliottheis.com/post/789324412Fri, 09 Jul 2010 13:35:51 +0100Lee Morrisiphone<object width="400" height="251"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/U5YyYUplS9A&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/U5YyYUplS9A&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="251" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><a href="http://blog.georgewilson.org.uk/post/761629945/awesome-wish-i-was-in-london-at-6am-mark-webber" class="tumblr_blog">georgewilson</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Awesome.
