I just checked mine, but seems all my contacts only have phone numbers since I use Gmail and GApps web-only accounts.

user =/= customer
User = product If x service is making money off their product ( you , user) then you should really have at least some "rights". The key word being should .
That's worth drilling into your head.
Yes, that means that User = product from HN's perspective, but I am willing to bet it is a lot more of a complex connection than it is with facebook ;-)

passwords for other sites Wait, seriously? People are using websites where the password reset emails are being sent from somebody's Droid phone? I think you've gotten a little carried away.
Ever seen sites with the ability to connect via Facebook? It often grants said site(s) with the user's Facebook primary-email. Now all personal emails, including password recoveries, are going through Facebook for said site(s).

FB integration isn't coming until the fall - it is currently only available in developer builds of iOS 6.
iOS6 is still in Beta. be nice to see Apple haul Facebook through the hot coals (?) for this. anyone else think Apple and Facebook make interesting partners? They're both doing their best to get users into their own domains to the exclusion of all else
Facebook simply doesn't have an ethical central core. They've shown over and over that when user privacy or security conflict with facebook's goals, they'll choose facebook over the user. It's always relatively subtle; they strive to only do what they can get away with...but it's always pushing the line, and is never based on trying to do what's right, merely avoiding backlash.

Can an entity like a corporation have a life beyond that which is given to it by its employees? Like the ship of theseus, can you replace all employees and still have a business that "feels" the same?

Lolz. Even a reasonable post gets downvoted. Now I'm just itching for downvotes. GIVE ME THEM.
I think you are being downvoted because none of your posts are reasonable or add to the discussion on HN. For example, you asked if all your posts must be erudite, and you believe that the obvious answer to your question is "no". Basically, when you can't even answer your own rhetorical questions correctly, then it's pretty much all downhill from there.
So, if snarky insults are reasonable and add to the discussion, then why is any one of these comments considered differently? (again, a rhetorical question. also, yes i put 'answer' instead of 'question' in the previous comment. my brain got ahead of my fingers. I'm sure you've never done that before, as you are clearly one of the world's top minds).
