No, there is nothing wrong with OpenID, and there is nothing to worry about security or privacy. Giant players like Yahoo! and Google has also been implementing OpenID for quite some time.
I lost my account at Stack Overflow because I was using WordPress.com as an OpenID. Well, I lost it for about a day because [...]

Something went into my mouth with the drink, and at first I thought it was some lemon pulp separated from [...]

It’s amazing how this website can equate the World Wide Web Consortium to “Disability Access”. Unless the brackets mean something else.
I was attracted by the announcement at the front page “… now equipped with W3C function. Click to know more.”

W3C is a body that develops interoperable technologies and standards for [...]

# This line will ensure only .cgi and .pl files are executed as CGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
 
Alias /request/ "C:/request/"

I don’t know what people are thinking, this modem has the management control panel wide open from the Internet, and set to use the default TM password.

I went out to Subang Parade on Sunday and passed by a Rotiboy outlet. This board was placed up front:

It was interesting, funny, and scary at the same time.
It’s funny and interesting to know that whoever designed the board is a LOTR fan because that is not even a tag line (I can’t find it [...]

I have been a long time Yahoo! Mail user (since 2001), and a paying customer of Yahoo! Mail Plus for 5 years+ (since 2003). There were no Gmail back then, and I needed a permanent email with POP3 access. Yahoo! slowly improved their services, although one thing that I have always been annoyed about is [...]

I have been actively glancing over to the settings page to see whether “Offline” has been activated for my account. And it was there so I decided to activate it:
