Facebook Apps/Privacy Concerns

On Monday, April 4, 2011, I am hosting a 'Quit Facebook' day.  I see the positive in facebook by being able to keep in touch with friends, but at the same time, Facebook Apps are a violation of privacy.  If you install an app (or take a quiz), you are basically friending the company or corporation.  You allow who ever made said app to access your entire facebook profile (even if you have items in your privacy settings that are set on 'Only You') and access your friends' profile pages.
My hope is that, if enough people leave facebook, they will have no choice but to change the privacy settings.
Please tell everyone you can.
I will add a link to where you can get more information on facebook and how they handle your privacy when I have a chance.(Note: my school's website block blocks anything that has to do with facebook)

Update on the Crisis in Japan

A week after the 8.9 earthquake in Japan, there are now questions abounding about how safe the nuclear reactors are. We could very easily see a nuclear crisis unfold if the reactors take too much more damage.  Here is a link to the Huffington Post about the dangers Japan could be facing.

Verizon iphone

The other day, news broke that the verizon iphone topped 1 million sales.  Now that might seem like a lot but its not for all of the hype that it had.  Now personally, I would love a verizon iphone but i had to settle for an LG Ally running android OS.   My contract was up back in November 2010 and my phone was on its last legs.  The stats on the verizon iphone are pretty impressive.  Unfortunately, I am at school and i don't know who else uses this keyboard so i will just give you a link.  I will try to update this.  http://www.suntimes.com/technology/3765156-478/att-iphone-wins-for-speed-verizon-iphone-wins-for-network.html
