The virtual keyboard of citibank, icici and a whole lot more secure password entries are not to my liking. Well am I a hacker, is not known !! But then this i feel is not secure one bit.
Hey guys do u remember why the password keyd in is shown as "****". Bull shit right. It is simple because an onlooker shouldn't see the password you are typing. All right! accepted tat you are trying to prevent the internet hackers from getting your data through keyboard sniffers. And it absolutely ok for a passby person who peeks - passby peeker* or can make out from the huge fonts in the virtual keyboard, even at miles from your desktop.
Ok Fine we close our monitor while keying in the password, so are you trying to say that if keyboard can be sniffed, can't the mouse be sniffed!!!!!!!
Although not an hacker and a great computer geek, i can clearly see many programs that i have come across that can pin point the cursor location on the screen.
Ok Cool! So you want to say that by swapping the keypad keys everytime we access the login page you are creating some secure stff. You must be kidding right :P
So all that it would probably take an internet hacker ( Not a passby peeker* ) is to take a "print screen" command equivalent when the page gets loaded and save the data onto some file and then capture his mouse click location x,y co-ordinate. And with this data he can even manually find out what location you have clicked the mouse in and what is the key under it!!!!
So whats the logic??? Neither the passby peeker not the great hacker are prevented from password theft. The conventional **** would be better. It is people around you whom you have to be careful of :P

Philosopher or a Psycho analyst !!!
Just woke up someday to realize the great sayings tat I could come up with. Yea this life is like that/this etc. It was the beginning of a journey of life!!! Yea I was a philosopher who was aware of the so called realms of life. The realized its time to get out the shell and always accept things as they are and find a reason for why they are so. Oops then began the second journey psycho analysis, the reasoning...why things are what they are or why they are, etc which dwells into the realms of the mind. I think most of us begin there. I Think "We all are on this earth for a reason, and the beauty of life is we try to find this reason !!!". Then the search for eternal truth continues...
Unlike most of them or rather like most of the egoists!, felt that was a genius by birth but wanted to prove this to the world :-) . Then felt have to prove this time and again until people are convinced that I wasn't a fluke (A). Then realize that its getting real tough to understand the so called "destiny". Then the sudden change in thoughts..Come on it can't be so bad. I mean wat's the fun if everything is pre-decided or is it Decided ???? The word "pre" adds some feelings that this was indeed decided and it was a bad trick played by GOD on us.
Well then the second phase starts psycho analyst. You begin to analyze people successful people at sometimes give up thinking they are wealthier but definitely not more happy than me! They may look healthy but not as me, look at how many nights they have to suffer to keep pace with the world. Why cant they be like me ...normal life...engh at hands...in pocket...enjoying..not much responsibilities..sleep for solid 8 hrs. wake up for a flexible working culture...wow am i successful or wat !!!
Well the fact is we cant fool ourselves for long. Then again get into philosophy. Life is about being happy..its not about money....not about fame...definitely not about chicks :D . All said and done when you land in the later 20s a hole in the mind. Man some kids are really successful in life. There are CEO's at the age of 16- 20. What on earth am I doing, is this wat my life is all about...some 6 figure salary. What about the "do something for myself", "for my country", "make my parents proud" statements that wandered in my mind at a very young age.
Well its not over yet !! Is it !! Well then I realize something that life is not about analysis. Its not about philosophy.
The fact that "I knew all the while that not all things will go the way I want it to, and it did happen that way !!! So this definitely cannot be termed destiny !!!" Well life does unfold the way we expect it to unfold, at the back of the mind !!!!
