Yes, but I do feel a little bad for the other 20,000 developers that don't have the resources to do anything about it. It's now clear that "open platform" hype is pure marketing spin -- bullshit-speak to make you think they actually give a fuck.

Everybody has an "open" something or other these days. The term has been rendered meaningless.

Me too since I'm one of them (and my company now 12 of them) but FWIW, none of us ever forgot that Facebook is not the web, and that it has a profit-motivated owner. We've all expected this coming, and any who didn't deserve what they get for being naive. I'm writing a blog post on my thoughts about it, story at 11.

  Same goes for Apple and the uprising against their banning of non-native development tools. Facebook is not the web, and iPhones are not computers.
