Posted by: Rahul Dewan on: October 21, 2008

The rise of collaborative networks
At the rate collaborative networks are [...]

Recovering Passwords in Yahoo – what a mess!

Posted by: Rahul Dewan on: September 5, 2008

I cannot seem to understand the logic of these “Secret Questions”. I have forgotten my password, and they expect me to remember some silly secret question like “Who was your childhood hero”.
