Re: Yahoo! Account Compromised

I don't think Yahoo! could do much since verification of a customer is entirely dependant on the password. If you have a security question, you can use that feature to change the password and reclaim the ID, otherwise it's gone.

It happened to me as well for my first Yahoo! account and the Yahoo! folk were prompt in their replies and offered consolation but had their hands tied understandably.

Yahoo! may not be perfect but then again, who is? :)

Re: Justified Toll Hike?

Wows... touchy touchy... I got to say though, price hikes are somewhat common and really should be expected. Malaysian consumers I feel are just too used to always having 'subsidies'. Petrol for example should just be subjected to demand and supply. Cars and tollways for example aren't really things everyone needs to have. They are luxuries and if you can't afford it, don't use it.

My opinion I guess is simply to recognise the fact that the government is already bending over double to help the rakyat but we're not quite doing our part as well. Road tax for example is already at a 50% discount. No one tries to car pool. People park everywhere to avoid paying for parking and etc. We do live in a city, one of the cheapest in the world at that. Can't quite be expecting costs to be similar to the towns where the most of kl'ites are from anyways.

There will always be many sides to a story and this will probably be a good rant for a personal blog. But as meshio.com wants to appear subjective as opposed to being personal (I assume), perhaps a balanced story might be better?
