As the world become increasingly more reliant on google, facebook, etc, so much so that they have become action verbs in common language, our general discontent with such mega-conglomerates grows. It reminds me to a certain extent of the discontent a teenager has for his parents who provide him or her everything but still has to, in order to maintain some social conformity exhibit disdain for authority. Along the same lines, honestly, I'd be interested to know if anyone really truly cares that Facebook would syndicate, sell, or otherwise monetize your posts. Or is it more of a socially acceptable jab at the mother-ship, something worthwhile that everyone can unite together to have an opinion on. Either way is fine with me, I just find it somewhat funny that something someone finds so useful, somewhat indispensable would be given a hard time for growing the business channels, without harming the user experience. IF Facebook started charging its USERS to read posts from your friends, now that's a whole new ballgame... but until then, I'm happy for them to make money, and translate those earnings into new features for all of us.

and... only the iPhone60" will have a front facing camera.
