But while it's well and good-- not to mention politic-- for NKU to distance itself from Jacobsen's actions and to use the occasion of her misbehavior to trumpet the institution's support for free expression and robust debate, it's also troubling to reflect that any institution could have any professor on its payroll who possesses such thoroughly warped notions of individual rights. Jacobsen is nearing the end of her career; her ignorance is not due to naivete, but to years of consolidation. She has worked in...

Nice report and screenshots, but I must say that I've rarely seen a company being so much over-hyped without any foundation. How could Mint win the TC40, without being scalable or getting their math right? They just promised me that I can save $35,977 by switching to CapitalOne:

These sites have to realize that when they launch they have to work and at scale. Obviously there will be a spike in traffic - but if you get me or anyone else to the site and it doesn't work - you have just lost a customer forever. Put in your info and wait and wait and wait - great user experience. . .

I can't really believe I readily registered on Mint.com and submitted my username and passwords for Bank of America, Chase, Citibank, and Discover...oh well!

"If you build it, he will come" but I probably won't remember next week what the site was called or be interested in using it after my first go-around.

I've been using Yodlee through Fidelity. I like the looks on mint so far but haven't been able to download any transactions today. Hopefully the servers will catch up tonight!

Mint's servers were extremely busy today, we could not even add our accounts. We do have a concern about giving our personal data to Mint. Security is a big question mark. But willing to try the package provide their servers are ready to serve us. Nice review!

Well, I gave Mint my personal data. I trust Mint at least as much as I trust Bank of America, frankly. Also, the US government can access anything BofA has and much more. Who do you trust?

Am I missing something here? People will REALLY give to Mint their banking account username/password so Mint could get their daily transactions and upgrade those nice looking graphs? I'll ask it one more time: People will REALLY give to Mint their banking account username/password?
