Top 10 Passwords

Life these days has become largely dependent on passwords - whether we're checking our emails, transferring funds or shopping online, passwords have their part to play. We're constantly bombarded with horror stories of security breaches, fraud, and phishing sites. Users are consistently told that a strong password is essential these days to protect private data. Why is it, then, that users on websites opt for the same, consistent, insecure passwords time after time?

10.Thomas(0.99‰)
First off, at number 10, is the most common format of passwords - the name. Thomas is a perennially popular name in the UK (2nd most popular in 2000), so it is perhaps no surprise that it makes the top 10, with nearly 1 in 1,000 people opting for this ubiquitous forename as their password.

We can only guess that there are a lot of fans of Thomas Jefferson or Thomas Edison out there! The high prevalence of Christian names only further reinforces the fact that loved ones are a common choice when it comes to passwords.

9.'arsenal' (1.11‰)
Football teams tend to be another popular choice, and the gunners fall in 9th place. This may or may not be reflective of the fact that the word 'arsenal' starts with a 4-letter swear word - another popular choice when it comes to passwords.

Arsenal are ranked 6th overall in average attendance rankings, and are the 2nd most popular football-related password.

8. 'monkey' (1.33‰)
Quite why the monkey makes it into 8th place is beyond me, but the fact that it's a 6-letter word (6 letters is a typical minimum length for passwords), is easily typed and is memorable probably helps cement its position as ideal password material.
Still, it's quite worrying that there's such a trend - perhaps the internet and monkeys are inextricably linked?

7. 'charlie' (1.39‰)
Another name - nowhere near as common a name as No. 10, Thomas, but it's our most popular name-based password overall.
Could of course, be a homage to a number of famous Charlies - Chaplin, Sheen, or those of a Chocolate Factory persuasion. Or, of course, it could just be the case that they're referring to it's slang usage.

6. 'qwerty' (1.41‰)
I wonder where the inspiration for this one came from? Perhaps when faced with a blinking cursor and an instruction to choose a password people will tend to look to the things closest to them - which would explain why 1 in 700 people choose 'qwerty' as their password.

5. '123456' (1.63‰)
Can you count to 6? It's the most common minimum required length of password - and the 5th most common password.

4. 'letmein' (1.76‰)
A modern-day version of 'open sesame' - and 1 person in 560 will type 'letmein' as their password. Quite why is beyond me.
I could be mistaken, but I have a hunch that 'letmein' has been featured in a movie or TV series - Fox Mulder's password from the X Files - 'trustno1' - also ranked quite highly.

3. 'liverpool' (1.82‰)
The most popular football team by some margin, Liverpool was the third most popular password overall. Does this mean that 1 in 550 people is such a devout Liverpool fan that they would be willing to entrust private data to the team they love?
Liverpool ranked 3rd in the average attendance ratings - leaving the 2 most popular teams, Manchester United and Newcastle United, out of the top 10 list - perhaps because they're too long and difficult to type.

2. 'password' (3.780‰)
Akin to pressing the 'any' key, when told to enter a 'password', it would seem that users aren't the sharpest tool in the box - with almost 1 in 250 people choosing the word 'password'.

1. '123' (3.784‰)
With nearly 4 people in 1,000 opting for a simple numerical sequence as their password (it should be noted that there was no lower length limit specified), '123' must be the first thing a lot of people think of when asked to specify a password. One dreads to think what their PIN number might be!

The Top 10 weirdest USB drives for 2007

USB drives comes in thousands of designs and colors, but these 10 are extraordinary weird. Or what do you think? Go ahead, check them out. They are weird! Promise. Hehe.

Here's the list:

10.The USB Puppet Bags
Ok, I admit - this isn’t a complete USB drive - it’s only a masquerade costume for your boring typical, standard USB drive. Quite weird design, ey?

9.The The Altoids USB mod
How about a nice little metal Altoids box sticking out of your computer? This nice little USB drive is designed by Phillip Mates.

8.The USB mince pie
Check out this incredible detailed and accurate mince pie reproduction. I wonder why they placed that little LED on top, as I think it would be even cooler without it.

7.Wooden memory sticks
I really like these wooden USB drives from the dutch company oooms. They are quite expensive (about $90 for the 1GB version) but they are all made out of real wooden pieces by hand.

6.The Holy Bible drive
This USB drive comes with the bible on it. The connector is hidden inside the bible so you have to use a little sliding switch before you can use it. I wonder if you’ll go to hell if you store prOn on the holy bible?

5.Crazy rabbit usb drive
This freaky little rabbit USB drive is designed by Micah Laaker, the design manager for Yahoo!’s personalization, RSS and membership teams. Cool one, right?

4.The Bowling ball USB drive
Ok, now things are really getting weird. How would you like to drag around on a full weigh (16 pounds / 7 kg) ten-pin bowling ball? This one is actually a fully functional USB drive that is capable of breaking your little laptop into pieces. It’s designed by Chris Spurgeon.

3.Chewbacca drive
Jeremy Harrington is the man behind this really nice Star Wars Chewbacca USB drive. It’s not a geeky little Chewiw mimobot - this is the real thing! Yeah! Hear me roar!

2.The Humping dog USB memory
Yes! We’re finally getting closer to the number one position, only one mor to go. Here’s a really weird little USB drive that has one thing that is really unique - it features moving parts. As soon as you plug the humping dog into your computer it starts humping it. Check out this video clip to see it in action! Who! Who! Who let the dogs out!

1.The Teddy USB memory
Drumroll please! Tada, here’s the final winner. It’s a bit different than the last winner (the USB Barbie drive) but it’s still a really cool and weird USB drive. You just rip the head off and plug it in! It’s designed by Sergio de Ana and as it doesn’t look like a typical USB drive, it’s probably quite safe to store data in it as long as you keep it’s head on! I bet you have to be careful with this one to not scare the kids, hehe.

Top 10 Celebrity Weight Losses

Interesting Top 10 list by Campus Squeeze about celebrity weight losses.

Nowadays Celebs do just about anything to get an edge, and many times it can be for the worse. We are featuring the top weight losses by celebrities, some positive examples that help extend lives, and some examples of extremely unhealthy weight loss.

Here's the list:

10. Hilary Duff- Pudgy as a preteen when she starred on Lizzie McGuire, Duff shed the poundage and became dangerously thin like Nicole Ritchie (and, also like Nicole, dated Joel Madden 9 years her senior) accompanied with a new dyed-brown ‘do. Avoided eating disorder rumors and regained a few pounds to maintain a healthy weight.

9. Courtney Love - Courtney recently emerged from rehab looking very much like a skeleton, and nowhere near the size that she used to be.

8. Oprah Winfrey- Lost weight in the 1980’s; on her show and preceded to roll a wagon of meat to show her viewers how much weight she dropped.

7. Richard Simmons- Richard Simmons really wasn’t a celebrity before his weight loss. He used it to create a successful empire for himself based a workout videos to help people lose the weight that he did.

6. Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliot - Missy lost wight due to health concerns, and actually angered many others at the same time. Either way Missy said she lost the weight for health reasons only.

5. Jared Fogle i.e. SUBWAY guy- Publicly spoke out against obesity by contributing his weight loss success to eating SUBWAY subs. This association with SUBWAY and weight loss allowed him to become the company’s spokesperson accompanied by the now infamous “fat pants.”

4. Nicole Ritchie- Dropped weight to a dangerously low level. Accused of eating disorders, and became so thin she weighed around 80 lbs; feared that her frail body wouldn’t be able to handle her new pregnancy with rocker boyfriend Joel Madden.

3. Al Roker- Shed nearly 100 lbs after gastric bypass surgery and dropped from a 54 to a 40 waist size. A week after the surgery, he returned to work as weatherman on NBC’s Today show.

2. Star Jones- Revealed to Glamour Magazine’s September issue that she had gastric bypass in August ‘03 and dropped 160 lbs over three years. She was previously intentionally evasive about how she lost all her weight until the Glamour interview.

1. Kirstie Alley- As Jenny Craig’s spokeswoman, she has broadcast her progress on national TV commercials and her goal to lose 70 pounds without surgery. That puts her at the number one spot because, hey, anyone can get surgery but she did it the hard way.
