Average Day Wristwatch Doesn’t Care Much For Numbers
Are you more of a “take action” sort of person, rather than a tight-scheduled numbers guy? The Average Day Watch, designed by Crispin Jones, is crafted for people just like you, who just don’t find much need for numbers in their life. Replacing the traditional digits are an assortment of daily routines. Just after noon? Then you know it’s time to eat! If your stomach hasn’t already been telling you that anyway, then the Average Day Watch sure will.
From washing, to working, to your allotted time set aside for your sad excuse of a social life, it’s all here. Aptly set on a squiggly and colorful timeline-like interface, the outer ring of events corresponds to actions taken in the AM. The inner band relates your daily PM activities. Time ain’t nothing but a number. The Average Day Watch knows what’s really important. You can grab your own for $145.
PayPal can’t seem to get a break. Because it is the main payment method of eBay, there are always tons of people trying to hack into the system and exploit flaws. Now, we understand that there shouldn’t be any flaws in the first place, but people shouldn’t be trying to steal other’s identities either. So here is a step that PayPal is trying to take to increase security: Security Keys. These keys generate unique passwords every 30 seconds or so, and everytime a user signs in to the service, they will have to enter this random key combination in addition to their username and pervious password. Of course, there are some serious problems with this. One being that, like nearly everything that is “random”, there are algorithms involved that can be cracked. Also, as is done today, users can be tricked into entering their information into a phishing site. All these new measures would do is give the scammers only 30 seconds to loging (which is still plenty of time). Will this new security measure work? It’s unlikely. — Nik Gomez
