How does a targetted email from public info instantly transform into a "government list". You really think there's a secret gay list that your names are on now? Is Santa checking it twice?
I get penis enlargment emails all the time. I don't wonder "How did he know I have a small dick?"
Of course it works fine and has been done before, but the fact that it's not heavily used (or used at all?) in data centers means the evaluation is valid.
I've seen those, too, and they were pretty nice. I think the one I saw had a button for the cleaning, instead of being automatic. The picture wasn't very clear on exactly what the button did, so of course I just pressed it to see what would happen.
You can buy the SIM, enter the IMEI of your phone and then choose what plan you want. Seems like you'd be able to do this in stores, too, but I have no idea.
There's also this support page (http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB113269&cv=820&_requestid=334233#fbid=Vd1k_ywKiST) for getting a SIM card for a phone you already own.
Can you please design one that doesn't leave shit streaked all the way down the back when you take a dump? I thought a toilet was a toilet, until I saw all the kinds they have in Europe. You have to scrub every one of them down after a dump. The worst was one that had a flat shelf to dump on and the water would wash it off. Yeah, good luck getting that loaf to wash away. What the hell? Sorry for the shitty post, but this is the topic we were presented with.
"cloud" issues aside, it is easier to have a dozen devices reading from the same file store via the network as compared to copying individual songs to each of the devices over and over as music preferences change. Especially so since the other devices probably do not have enough storage for the entire library.
Not sure why you jumped all the way to "too hard" when the OP just said "no need to worry".
You always have to take time to find something new to you. With the old interface it was searching through the drop down menus or hovering over the little buttons looking for the one you wanted. Now you search through the ribbons until you find it. Same same, imo. People, as always, just don't like change.
Things on the desktop are covered up by running applications which you have to get out of the way to get to the desktop. That's why I don't keep much there, at least, other than maybe the latest documents I'm working on or reading.
Since there are multiple people across the world with the same name and they can all make facebook accounts, I don't know what you're stopping, really. The social netwok you build validates who you are, along with what you say, not just your name.
Since it's a SOCIAL network, once one person knows, it's only a matter of time before it propagates. All my friends now know due to my most recent post. Within 24 hours, I'm sure most on their friends know and so on. Yes, a little blurb at the top of the page would've been nice, but who reads those?
The @facebook emails have been active well before this change. Anything sent to it that's not from a friend show up in "Other" and you do not get a notification. I wouldn't have even known that category existed if it weren't for other posts here.
So, IMO, the valid complaint is that this makes the email address listed on your profile USELESS for an actual contact address. I guess that's better than getting notifications for any spam that comes in, though.
What's wrong with keeping in touch with people that don't meet the dictionary definition of "friend"? Sometimes Joe Smith from gradeschool, who I'll never see again in real life, has something interesting to say. Sometimes that old high school aquantance you weren't really friends with has now grown up and gotten into the same hobbies as you and you can enjoy a great time over cigars the next time you happen to be in town (true story).
Just found out, by reading other posts, that emails to your @facebook that aren't from someone you'd already listed as a friend get dumped into an "Other" folder and do not show a notification. So this just makes the whole thing pointless. I will never see anything sent to me if it's not from someone I don't aleady know, which defeats the whole purpose of listing an email addess.
So at least there's something legitimate you can complain about.
You're barking up the wrong tree with me, man. I don't give a shit as to what Facebook does. It's free and provides me a useful service. If they want to try and funnel traffic through them so they can show ads, so be it.
FYI, I've sent emails to my @facebook with and without it being visable and neither have shown up. Or if they are, I don't know where. So either this is broke, really slow, or I don't know what... As a programmer, I'd make it so that emails aren't accepted when it's not visible, but I don't know if that's what FB is doing.
As for spam, I get it on every email address and I'm sure the delete key will be just as effective here.

Yes, but even "targetted" is a stretch here. It was sent to people that previously participated in an online petition.

I'd say it's more likely that you get some percentage of $500 back based on how much longer you have to live (on average, or maybe even max).
>> This guy paid for something and didn't get it
He did get it, though. For six years or so, judging from the wayback link. Sucks that it's shutting down, but I'd say he got his $499 worth.
I haven't been to Finland, yet. I look forward to shitting in your country, though, from the sounds of it.

I did a quick search on the AT&T site and came across this.

It's FUD, or whatever you want to call it. FB is a tool. Use it if it meets your needs or don't.

Join you where?
You can set some other email as the default whethe you're on Timeline or not. I've aleady done it.
Thanks for the note about the "Other" section. That's where my test messages have been going. This makes @facebook.com absolutel useless.

What kind of SOCIAL environment shouldn't tell you about things your friends liked?
Interesting point. Maybe if FB wants to play the email game, they should offer a real email service, i.e. IMAP (secure).
You're barking up the wrong tree with me, man. I don't give a shit as to what Facebook does. It's free and provides me a useful service. If they want to try and funnel traffic through them so they can show ads, so be it.

The "email" will come across looking the same as a direct message or chat, I assume.
Although, I have the @facebook email hidden from my profile and just sent a test message and it hasn't come through...
