#2Wow. Feeling like this will be a predictable cycle.. I remember how difficult it was for me to convince my friends to install an app on Facebook due to the FarmVille Fatigue. Led to me and others writing "we will never post on your wall without your permission". This definitely feels loose and ripe for manipulation/privacy backlash. Well, let the "viral coefficient" loose...

#3Anybody know how to read techcrunch articles on an iPad these days?
I get fifteen seconds of article, then get redirected to that "download our app" thing. No combination of back/forward or clicking "no, let me read the article" results in me being able to actually read the article.
I'm not about to pollute my iPad just for one site, so I guess from here on out I just have to make a mental note to stay away from techcrunch articles when they come through here.

It's awful isn't it.
I have to hit the stop button really quickly. I am also trying to stay away but it seems like a good percentage or article posted on HN come from techcrunch.

#5Some of this seems evil to me, some of it doesn't.
It is likely that many people really are searching for the button that allows them to fucking play the game. (The people joining Facebook now must be the trailing end of the trailing end of computer-savviness.)
On the other hand, Facebook has decided not to try to educate these users any more. They wash their hands of the whole affair.
Funny, now it's obvious that they could have been that evil to start with. I wonder what's changed. It might be personnel changes and/or share price...?

Apple should threaten action on any media company app whose corresponding website has an egregious iOS device only popup.
That or enable desktop user agent reporting via a toggle ala third party browser apps Atomic and Sleipnir.

#7I was on gmail and suddenly got a offer from google to have video chat turned on. I thought I already had video chat, but clicked ok anyway. By doing so, it turned out I was upgrading to google plus.

Hitting the reader on mobile Safari does the trick (I'm on iOS 5.1.1).
I also find this TC "feature" very annoying.
