When I opened my first bank account the smart money would have been for AOL to own online identity.

The .name thread that is on the front page right now mentions specifically registering a domain that wasn’t managed by Verisign because they aren’t trustworthy. But now Verisign does own it and Verisign is doing Verisign things.

You trust Apple today. Will you trust them tomorrow? Will you trust whoever buys them, or at least their identity verification business?
