Flagging items as deleted as opposed to actually deleting them is one thing. Of course it's not ideal for someone who wants to revoke facbook's access to their data, but there is more or less no difference from a user perspective.

Google Maps is already "flat" in the sense that it doesn't use gradients or shadows. (The exception would be the controls in the corner which have a shadow, but that still exists in this example). The only thing someone did was switch up th

OP here. Some friends and I put this together in two weeks on a Rails stack. It's $2 to create a bracket, and the proceeds go to research for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Please check it out! Feedback is welcome, of course.

Looks like his feed is full of vain calls for help to @christinemariek and @tolgakatas with the refrain "I'm in a lot of trouble right now." Sort of unnerving...
