Anybody 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 tech…

In addition, does anyone have an issue with font resizing on Techrunch? When I zoom in to the text it becomes pixelated and unreadable. I end up being forced to read tiny text at original site resolution.
Horrible UX. I expect more tech savvy from Techrunch.
This is a small nit-pick, but I feel like the word "design" gets thrown around a lot these days, until it doesn't even mean anything anymore. I would expect a "design trick" to be using color, contrast, or typography to achieve a result. If getting rid of the "don't allow" button counts as "design", then I wonder if "design" has become too broad a term to still be useful.

What games are you claiming need the same level of information about me as a doctor? Frankly, your analogy is ridiculous. Facebook apps aren't integral parts of my health and well-being. They don't need to delve into my personal life. They want to. That's one way to exploit me to advertisers. But a Doctor absolutely needs to, for my own well being. Games and the advertisers they serve don't have that claim.
The social element is absolutely essential to such simple games. If it weren't for the constant nagging of your friends there wouldn't be much fun they would practically not work. If you feel the games exploit you (or the doctor invades your life) , then avoid them.
"It wouldn't work without constant nagging" is supposed to support your point?
> If you feel the games exploit you (or the doctor invades your life) , then avoid them.
The entire point of the article is that Facebook is intentionally making it less obvious that these games are exploiting your personal information.

There are pages that can crash Safari on iOS which are no problem to be read in Opera Mini.
I've just followed the link and the whole page is fully readable.
This wiki has been around for a number of years and I always thought it was a great idea. Shame it hasn’t really seemed to have taken off.
Facebook is simply not trustworthy. I feel sorry for people having to create an account simply to use Spotify.
You don't have to use the same account for everything. I have one for social interactions with all privacy settings maxed out (including opting out of the Facebook platform [0]), and one for apps, with no friends. The same goes for Twitter. http://twitter.com/loganloginski [0] Otherwise the apps of your friends have access to your data.

Techcrunch wants you to install their app so they can steal your mobile data while you read about how Facebook steals your personal data... Everything is an app today! Yay!
Is that allowed though? Microsoft was penalized heavily for not providing options to Internet Explorer. Can this fall under a lawsuit?
