This has to be the weirdest UI anti-pattern ever. Check the box to *not* remember my details? #UX

Usually login forms let you check a box to remember your information.  This form, courtesy of DStv, asks you to check a box if you want them to forget your information. Further, the tool tip states that they give you "the ability to save what you have filled in." Where do you indicate that?

This is a good example of an anti-pattern - a re-invented bad solution to a common UI occurrence.

The second case will be rewarded with great failures and occasional great success. But those great successes will transform the world.
