Passwords exist so that you are asked to enter them each time you want to enter a system! That way only the person with the password has access! Why do people keep coming up with easy ways to store your password so you don't have to login?
If it is from one application to another like say Gmail to Orkut that you are navigating, then its a pain to be prompted for password, but why do cellphones/desktop apps have to have features like 'Remember me'?
Set the password, remember it. If you can't then remember how to reset it! If that is too much an effort, then you are a dork!

Twitter is a nice place to hang out! one of the best social networking sites I've seen so far.
Things that I liked
- Multiple ways of staying connected (WAP,SMS,desktop app,IM etc)
- Simple and intuitive interface
- No hassles of filling lengthy profiles
- easy status updating feature :)
If you're already on Twitter and want to be followed, let me know. If you want to follow me, do so here. If you're not on Twitter, go get an account :)

On every festival/special day Hutch Vodafone charges 1 Re for each outgoing SMS, irrespective of the tariff plan. A very smart way of preventing network congestion.
I use SMS the most to communicate. I get majorly pissed off on days when vodafone decides to charge my messages mainly because I don't send forwards for the occasion so I'm not adding to their crappy network's congestion!
The only reason why I am using Vodafone is because I have a plan that gives me 100 free messages a day .The day this is stopped, I'll throw the SIM away! Except for the free SMS, everything else about Vodafone sucks big time!
