   I prefer to completely reset all default CSS rules and specify them manually. Works great for me, I haven't noticed any drawbacks. * { background-color: transparent; border: none; border-spacing: 0; fon

   "In 2008, a class action lawsuit against Blockbuster Inc. was filed over the release of customer rental and sales records to Facebook [..]" Wow, that makes it even funnier. And kind of strengthens my point I guess.

   Lame argument. If a video rental store suddenly published a list of all the naughty videos you've ever watched, would that be OK because you opted in to their service, gave them your name etc.? It's their business, they can do whatever they

   Best one yet! There actually is a service that lets you make a free phone call after watching an ad, called Bondd (Dutch): http://bondd.nl/bondd/phone/index.html

   Pure CSS speech recognition! Seriously, I didn't even click the link because it didn't make sense.

   Facebook wasn't designed to be public either, it has always been known for being a walled garden where you share stuff with people you choose. Someone might pass something on to stranger but that's no different from having a chat on the pho

   "[..] if you didn’t want your pictures shared with the rest of the world, you shouldn’t upload them in the first place." Why can't we expect services like Facebook to keep our private stuff private? Facebook was always about sharing stuff w

    I've been a very happy http://Gandi.net customer for a while now (registrar and VPS host). Decent performance and service, their web site interface is great and I love having a prepaid account.

    To bad you closed the humor element, otherwise all the comments below yours would have been funny as well.

    I gave them 5 bucks, as I often do with open source projects I'm interested in. Even if it doesn't go anywhere I still support the idea.

    The average user may not think about privacy that much but when ex-husbands start responding to pictures of their kids I'm sure even most house wives will start looking for an alternative (and spread the word like wild fire). Give it a coup

    The browser handles pretty much everything inside the editor including the handlebars for resizing images and tables. Editors like TinyMCE and CKEditor are still very impressive, I've made my own RTE once and it's one giant PITA to get ever

    On the other hand, it might only take one bad experience (say an ex responding to a picture) for them to never use Facebook again. And then the word will spread. The techies are leaving the ship now, my guess is that in two or three years O

    I think you share more private data then you realize. Now that everybody is embedding iframes with Like buttons Facebook can keep a record of all the sites you visit. Are you ready to share this information with the world? What about the vi

    Are you ready to share your online behavior with everyone, including all the sites you visit and videos you watch? Are you ready to have your picture used in ads your friends see? Because that's where this is going.

    Definitely not if I have to click it every time I want to use it. I think this would be better suited as a browser plug-in.

    Also add Namoroka and Minefield, test versions of Firefox. Instead of whitelisting, can't you run some test code client-side and only prompt when you're sure the browser doesn't support it?

    If online, post the letters L, O and L (in that order) to indicate laughter in real life. Optionally the letters X and D may be used to form a so called "emoticon", for added effect.

    But are you prepared to share your online behavior? What if Facebook published a list of all the sites you've visited with a Like button?

    If you don't want Facebook to know you're dating, don't date! That's what Eric Schmidt would say.
