  "If an organization is afraid of the press, there's usually a damn good reason why: because they have things to hide."
  
  Hmm, sounds very similar to the refrains from people happy to take away our rights: "only [guilty people/people breaking the law/people with something to hide/etc] [run from the police/think TSA searches are unreasonable/disagree with the president/etc].
  
  That being said, I think stifling the press from publishing stories like these is "bad thing" and I wonder when people will realize that it will only come back to bite them.

• On the post: Research Claims Hackers Could Figure Out Your Smartphone Password Via Screen Smudges

  actually....

  We were talking about this at work last week. My boss has an android phone and his 7 year old daughter was able to "break into" his phone. When he asked her how she did it, her reply was "your greasy fingers left marks on the screen and I just followed them." I don't like having smudges on my screen so I always give it a wipe after I use to so that it doesn't have any smudges. Another solution to this "problem", as my coworker thought up, is to have a code that doubles over itself. So yes it can happen, but as for the likelihood? Pretty darn low. Looks like they wanted more grant money...

  I get more upset with Obama the longer he is in office. To think I voted for this. Wow.

  Bryan Appleyard

  Interestingly enough, Mr. Appleyard has his own blog: http://www.bryanappleyard.com/blog/
  
  After reading his original article and getting a headache; my only response really to finding out that he has a blog is to just blink in disbelief. Wow.
