  • Quit Facebook Day

    Today is Quit Facebook Day. While I agree with the privacy concerns to some degree and it seems like Mark Zuckerberg might not be a trustworthy person; unfortunately, I don’t feel like there is a good alternative to Facebook, for that reason I think it would be difficult for me to live online without Facebook.

    I wanted to deactivate my account for the day in solidarity. When I attempted to do so, I was presented with this error.

    ZUCKED! Note that the error does not tell me which application I need to delete or re-assign, it could be multiple applications for all I know. After deleting the 1 offending application, I was still unable to deactivate the account. So much for that.

    Quit Facebook Day Links:

    • Direct link to Facebook’s “deactivate” page.
    • Direct link to DELETE your Facebook account. Note: you must wait 14 days before Facebook will delete your account, if you log in at anytime within those 14 days your account will not be deleted.
    • Openbook

  • Flash On iPhone with Cloud Browse, Sorta

    Double-U Tee Eff, it’s cnettv flash video streaming to my non-jailbroken iPhone, in Firefox? Yup. This is all thanks to the Cloud Browse app.

    The app details don’t give any information about how this is actually working. As far as I can tell the app makes a VNC-type connection to a virtual machine on Amazon EC2. Works like a charm.

    Get it while it lasts though, seems like the sort of app Apple might pull from the App Store.
