Other issues that I can’t live with day to day? How do I copy text from non-editable field like an email, webpage, or SMS, or even a 3rd party application? Oh, I can’t. Say what you want about the iPhone not having copy and paste for two years — a joke — it’s the single best implementation on the planet for a smartphone and Google’s approach is almost as bad as RIM’s with the Storm-series. — Google Android Personal Thoughts

Say what you want, but Apple (as opposed to the rest of the industry) generally release things with well thought-out UIs, and though they may have their shortcomings, they probably do so for a reason. Seems an awful lot less witty to ridicule the iPhones former lack of copy/paste-functions now, eh?

Project52 is an interesting project to encourage bloggers to write meaningful entries, at least once a week. But, is this really a good idea? Will this serve as inspiration or just be another thing one “has to” do, thus contributing to stress and spurring tons of useless, not very thought through entries? We’ll see. I’ve signed up for now, but I doubt I’ll manage to actually do this.

OpenID is a great technology that has the potential to simplify most authentication routines on the internet to an incredible degree. One of the processes that benefit from OpenID is the registration process. Instead of the good old giant form of preferences and additional information you could get along with just one peice of information; your OpenID provider. There are sites that already use this great method of registration, such as Stacked Overflow et. al., but the rest of the internet has been very slow to adopt this (by now fairly old) technology.

OpenID improves security by eliminating the need to remember a ton of different passwords — remembering one really difficult password is far better (and easier) than not remembering 15 different ones and having to either write them down or make them really simple. More sites need to embrace this excellent system; it’ll make the internet a more secure place.
