Having statistics to see how your application is being used is important for developers and marketing. Knowing your target demographic is not enough these days, with so much competition any additional information is very helpful for developers. weather its being used to see what kind of hardware, software configuration, usage statistics, etc... this can allow the developers, or company, to better refine a product to better suite the needs of the users.

that being said, it must be stated in the EULA that these kind of statistics (anonymous or otherwise) are being collected, otherwise its a privacy breach. Digsby got in a lot of trouble for that a few months back.

NirSoft makes some of the best, and most usefull programs when your job is to migrate people from different machines and they don't know any of their password that are saved.

@Stevefarrell
I think you missunderstand how the program works. It doesn't pick they key out of the air, it displays the stored key on the computer. This is usefull if someone gets a new laptop you can simply pull the key from the old laptop. How many peopl edo you know that remember their WEP or WPA key? ;)

Comment - Verizon announces the Droid X, sequel to the popular Motorola Droid, shipping July 15
2010 Beta (Jun 23, 2010 - 3:14 PM)

The true sequel is the Driod 2. The Driod X is the "luxury" version with an 8 mega pixel camera (as opposed to the Driod 2's 5) and no physical keyboard. Get your facts straight please ;)

There are other differences, but this is just a summery.

with all the patent apps going through these days we are going to run out of new things to patent, or at least the pace will slow. you can only come up with so many original ideas that don't infringe (even a little) on someone else's stuff. If we keep going at this rate we are going to wake up one morning, look out towards the horizon, and see a big white wall of nothing and silence.

person: "what's that?!"
Me: "That? That's noon tomorrow. Ya spent to much time working around all these patents to make the same thing, only different, that we used up all the creativity and new ideas there are."
person: "so what do we do now?"
Me: "...ever see the movie road warrior?"
person: (just looks scared).

I am not against patents but i think there needs to be shorter durations on them and certain things (like basic functionality, or the human genome) should not be able to be patented.

company: "Hey! What are you doing?!"
Me: "I was about to go for a walk."
company: "If you do you owe us 50$"
Me: "what?!"
company: "ya, we have a patent on bipedal motion pertaining to exercise"
Me: "...you're joking right?"
company: "nope, why don't you come over here and I will tell you about it, of course you would have to walk here, so it's 50$ either way."
Me: "Ok, I have a question though."
company: "ok shoot."
Me: "does your company own a patent for beating the crap out of someone and stealing their wallet?"
company: "umm ...no, why?"
Me: "no reason, I'll be right over..."

Wow, wireless tomb stones. Never be out of contact with your loved ones again. Text beyond the grave! "Damn, we just got another bill from Verizon and it looks like grandpa went over his text messages again."
