Here's one of those tech notes that usually turns into an open thread, with some information that might be useful to other website monkeys. While testing the Facebook Like button I noticed that there seems to be a latency problem somewhere in the mammoth Facebook hivemind. If the button is ...

You may have noticed those two shiny new buttons at the top of the right sidebar. The Twitter button leads to my Twitter profile, of course, but I'm also now on Facebook, only several years after the rest of the world. With this post I'm testing the Facebook app I coded ...

This is why I've never liked Facebook: Facebook thinks twice on giving dev access to phone, address data. Facebook has put off its plan to allow developers access to users' phone numbers and home addresses. The company posted an update on its Developer Blog Tuesday morning, saying that it got ...
Following the shootings in Arizona, Sarah Palin's Facebook drones went into overdrive, scrubbing any and all criticism from her page. Someone captured this video showing the comments disappearing as fast as they're posted; I don't know what the final count of deleted comments is, but it has to be in ...

A poll posted on Facebook with more than 700 responses (now apparently removed) asked “Should Obama Be Killed?” The Secret Service is investigating. Bad, bad craziness is coming out into the open more and more, encouraged by GOP politicians and right wing radio hosts, pandering to and inflaming the most extreme elements. ...

The Obama Indoctrination story just keeps getting worse. Now the news is coming out that Obama held a secret meeting (known only to most of the nation’s media) with students after his speech this morning, and made yet another underhanded attempt to warp their minds and stifle their free speech. STUDENT: ...

At last, parents have the technology to discover their children’s deepest secrets. [Video]
ABC News has been running a series of pretty good “fact check” segments on the proposed health care legislation: Watch Our Fact Check Series — All in One Place - The World Newser. Here’s their piece on the Sarah Palin “death panel” smear and the distorted accusations of euthanasia. [Video] I’ve seen some ...

Probably because her first statement about “death panels” was such a resounding political success, Sarah Palin is doubling down on the euthanasia card in her latest post at Facebook: Sarah Palin Notes. These consultations are authorized whenever a Medicare recipient’s health changes significantly or when they enter a nursing home, ...

Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) said today that Sarah Palin’s description of the end of life provisions in the House bill as “death panels” is “nuts”. Q: How did this become a question of euthanasia? ISAKSON: I have no idea. I understand — and you have to check this out — I ...

Quite a few readers were upset with me for criticizing the mob-like behavior of many town hall demonstrators. Some denied that this behavior even happened at all, accusing the media (or me) of exaggerating and lying about it. If Sarah Palin were to come out with a statement asking the demonstrators ...

Sarah Palin weighs in. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s “death panel” so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their “level of productivity in society,” ...
The wife of Britain’s new’s MI6 foreign intelligence chief, Sir John Sawers, published intimate photos and family details on Facebook. And the security breach isn’t the worst thing about this story — because her entries on Facebook also revealed that Sawers’ brother-in-law is a friend of notorious Holocaust denier David Irving. ...
There’s something rotten at Facebook: Jew Haters Welcome At Facebook, As Long As They Aren’t Lactating. Way more countries have laws against holocaust denial (11 or so) than breast feeding (0), but guess which one is banned on Facebook? That’s right. Pictures of breast feeding babies are indecent, so they’re ...
Robert Spencer has now graduated to making empty legal threats, sending angry email to a blogger who removed Spencer’s site from his blogroll: Java Zen:Thinking Out Loud » Changes to the Blog Roll. Everything I wrote in this post was purely factual, and easily proven—and Spencer himself has already admitted to ...
