Does Issuing Passports Make Microsoft a Country?: "By the time you've read this article, I can guarantee that I'll scare you into turning off your Hotmail account and staying away from MSN web sites." Although it's perhaps a little on the paranoid side and seems to make some unsubstantiated accusations, this is an intersting article from both a technical and privacy perspective. And it seems pretty accurate. While it probably won't make me stop using Expedia, it's good to know what Microsoft is doing with Passport.
