"I normally don't bother logging out of whatever sites I'm logged in to. I'm not too bothered what she sees if she opens up the Facebook tab with me logged in - but I can see that it may be a problem for some." That's the crux of it - you'r

I went from a games programming (C++) career, to Android, to enterprise Java. I admit that enterprise Java can be pretty hideous, but I think in most cases the bloat/slowness isn't caused by the language there. As far as Android is concerne
