Simple enough. It's not a race problem it's a culture problem. Look at the current set of black culture icons and you'll have an idea as to why. That, and if you try to learn, you get called an Oreo apparently. Bill Cosby and a few others have been ranting about this for a while, but things don't really seem to be changing very quickly.
Many businesses currently use FaceBook and Twitter, and I would imagine the numbers will only increase. What it's 'meant' for often has little to do with how it will be used.
Even if businesses just watch for opinions and complaints, it's probably something worth their time.
Whether you use the sites or not, it requires very little effort to grab your name early, in case you change your mind. Use a service, or something like PasswordGorilla to help manage the accounts. If you run a business with a recognizable brand it's pretty much a requirement to at least register your name.
Check the moderation on the parent post, and the one that follows it (mine). Both have been as high as at least +4, and keep being modded down as well. Expressing an opinion is strongly discouraged.
I tend to boycott Apple MP3 players mainly because of their proprietary formats and hardware lock-in. I's like a device I can just drop files on and play, without installing some bloated management software. There's people worse than me as well. I have a friend who was car shopping and rejected one car because it had an iPod connector. Having a custom connector is not even that bad if it can be used free by others, but the iPod connector is definitely not like that. I've recently removed QuickTime from my remaining Windows box because of their pushy update strategy.
It could still be doing evil, but you can now find the evil yourself and remove it. Most people of course will be running supplied binaries, not compiling the code themselves, and don't know the difference anyway.
The odds of them getting into a system like this must be quite low, but I guess they're after the low-hanging fruit. Running your services on a high port rather than the default reduces this, as does disabling password login and using 2-factor authentication. Quite easy to do, and very, very secure.

I would guess that they sell gangsta rap content about "shootin' cops and beatin' ho's". Why draw a line here?
It's still an infection vector.
To quote the Arrogant worms: "We won't say that we're better ... it's just that we're less worse"
If you've used iTunes, you should be thanking them.
As with mutual funds ... past performance is not an indication of future performance.
Then again, even if you can perform your work, not being able to communicate with anyone may render it useless in many cases as well.

Or "Miniscule Mammoth". Descriptive, yet confusing.
Those asterisks actually represent boobies. He was trying to add a little more raunchiness to the comments.
This is the perfect test market for a bullshit powered golf cart. Aren't politicians, lawyers, and marketing droids big golf players?
Ouch. Still cheaper than IBM though.

Mmmmmmm ... quantum waffles. I'd probably have syrup on those.
Binary armour and FISTing? That second term certainly clarifies the need for the first.
See, this is why URL shortening is a bad idea. Well, that, and I've heard that it's fattening.
You won't be able to get YouTube audio over it. In space, no-one can hear you stream.

I'm sorry, I thought you were serious.
Perhaps the video producers should watch "Idiocracy" and then have another go at it. I still think that movie's a damn documentary.
We have a winner.

Sorry, should have posted this with the original. Instructions for Linux 2 factor authentication
