    I absolutely agree. I would rather be told the bad news with all the facts than a sugar-coated "oh-we-were-hacked-but-its-not-our-fault-and-you-customers-are-screwed" response.

    I use them for occasional code surfing.

    I don't believe they have 800 million. I think an active account counting as "an account that has logged in within 30 days" is skewing the stats beyond belief. They have more like …

    I got my Logitech Revue as part of a promotion by Google, and I agree with you -- I'm glad I didn't pay for it. It just didn't do anything spectacular or exciting. The browser is c…

    Paying $30 a month for 5 hours of use is really stupid.

    Gonna be brutally honest here, those pricing plans are shit. Allow me to log in for an unlimited amount of time and lower the price a bit, and we'll talk.

    And it's down. This won't kill Facebook by any means. Terrible marketing, bad approach to social networking, and of course it won't make people stop using Facebook.

    I think everyone hates Facebook because of their privacy and data mining issues, and I'm inclined to agree with those people. Facebook did sell out in that way, and I think even St…

    I really hate how Facebook killed the competition because there's no place to go besides G+, and that seems to be targeting a different audience than Facebook. :( Just because a co…

    Well, patent trolls cause companies to spend more money on legal efforts than on innovating so I agree. insert rant about how broken the patent system is here

    Interesting idea for donations. I'll give it a try once my PayPal account stops hating me. Maybe add some alternate payment gateway support (e.g. WePay, Google Checkout, etc.)? :)

    > Facebook doesn't force you to use their services, and if you do so voluntarily then it's on facebook's terms, though luck. WRONG! Think about all the sites that have Like buttons…

    It's not about morals, it's about the law as it is right now. And the truth is that Facebook is breaking our laws and need to be prosecuted for such. As for your argument, why is t…

    I shouldn't have to block the domain to stop them from tracking me. They just shouldn't track me.

    I'm not too impressed. The content is good, but they just seem to give you links to software and then say "Okay, just use this, this, and this and then you'll have an HTML5 app." I…

    I wish I could be there to see Drew Houston. He's a role model for startups.

    Primary example: the Like button. Even when I'm not logged into Facebook the button tracks where I go. I never checked a box to have the like button shown to me. Also, agreeing to …

    Your opinion does not equate to everyone's opinion. I'm quite interested in his hosts file (because of blocking like buttons).

    So this wouldn't be considered "patent trolling"? I know Microsoft has had quite a history with Android and I always assumed it was just them using their patents to make some quick…

    I love the Snickers bar ad placement, as if it's trying to cover up the fact that that screenshot is fake. But seriously, why do companies have to do this? Aren't they proud of the…
