STANFORD, Calif. - President Obama is planning to hand the U.S. Commerce Department authority over a forthcoming cybersecurity effort to create an Internet ID for Americans, a White House official said here today.
It's "the absolute perfect spot in the U.S. government" to centralize efforts toward creating an "identity ecosystem" for the Internet, White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt said.

notice they are getting the private sector to implement this . the nsa is basically going to be working with internet companies to sell IDs to people. They won't call it national IDs, they won't centralize it through the gov. they just call it a nice service, get rich and implement another control and tracking technology on society.

" What we are talking about is enhancing online security and privacy and reducing and perhaps even eliminating the need to memorize a dozen passwords"
Does anyone really think they're going to be able to get this off the ground and make it work? This is pipe dream at best.

"We are not talking about a national ID card," Locke said at the Stanford event. "We are not talking about a government-controlled system. What we are talking about is enhancing online security and privacy and reducing and perhaps even eliminating the need to memorize a dozen passwords, through creation and use of more trusted digital identities."

OBAMA can go fuck himself. That goes for the rest of the goddamn US Government. All just a bunch of goddamn puppets and talking heads for corporations anyway.
Fuck you you spineless, no conviction, no integrity, piece of shit government.

I have no idea what this story is talking about...sounds like they don't either. But one thing I do know is that there is not going to be some "Internet ID card" to access the web.
Who the hell is going to check my "card" anyway, lol? Just another example of people believing some hysterical story without thinking or questioning.

I would like for this president to stop worrying about trivial things like this and get people - lots and lots of people - back to work.

10% unemployment, $1.7T deficit, and the president is working on a plan to simplify passwords. WTF is wrong with this picture.

How else are you suppose to log and track those who talk ill of comrade Obama?
I kid. But really, can anyone shed some light on what the h they're talking about?
One the one hand it is "Identification", and on the other "Privacy".
And to confuse things further there's an image of a fingerprint on a circuit board...

It is tragic that Obama is hacking away at this password shit on his MacBook while millions starve outside. He just needs to get over the HTML5 learning curve and things will be proceeding much faster.
