One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

For years I’ve had a chip in my brain stem so I can receive my marching orders directly from the Manchester Union Leader and the Wall Street Journal editorial page.

I prefer Google’s 2-step model instead. You get an app for your phone and then it provides one time passwords when you login. Works well and you don’t need anything intrusive.

"The Ring! I can't believe you fell for the oldest trick in the book! What a goof! What's with you man? Come on! You know what? Here let me give it back to you."
[throws it down the grate] "Oh, look, you fell for that too! I can't believe it, man!"

Bill Loeb is dead, and the paper ain’t the same. Could’ve been worse, at least you didn’t go with National Review.

The end of anonymity online, and also one short step from an implanted chip.

Oh I’m sure that Google would just love to get all my passwords loaded into a device they designed.
It’s never going to happen though.

I am SURE that little USB ring is COMPLETELY waterproof, shockproof, etc., so you can wear it all the time, shower with it, work with it, swim with it, etc., right?
And it will almost NEVER be lost, stolen or misplaced.
Dumb idea.

He said that using personal hardware to log in would remove the dangers of people reusing passwords or writing them downUh, how about when it gets stolen, broken or dropped in the toilet? How do you log on to report it stolen and get a new one? How many tax dollars will be spent to give another bling-bling to the welfare scum and how much will the working stiffs have to fork over for it? No, thanks.

Retina scans will be next........ Hotlinked, of course, to your gene sequence, Social, federal LE and DHS files, and RW 4D location at that instant.
