   	I was going to buy some tools today online. So I filled in my   
   personal data, including my home phone number. The site balked at my   
   password "must have 5 to 8 letters or numbers". But OK, I was going to   
   pay by cash deposit, so a weak password was not a problem.   
   	When I was finalizing the deal, Google (geo, syndication,   
   google-plus etc) stepped in asking for my smartphone number. I don't   
   have one. So I could not do my shopping.... it simply rejected my   
   purchase.   
   	The world is becoming a very strange place.
