If for no other reason than the Facebook app is a memory/battery hog, do yourself a favor and uninstall it, you'll feel better
Why your smartphone battery hates Twitter and Facebook
To paraphrase the saying about paranoia: just because you’re obsessed with battery life doesn’t mean that data-hungry apps aren’t out to drain you. In my case, I decided to put my foot down on the issue of having to charge my phone at 2 p.m. every, single, day. I looked into the services running on my Android phone (a Galaxy Nexus), and noticed that those using up the most memory, and probably demanding a data connection most often, were Facebo…

It's remarkable to think about how easy it is to loose institutional knowledge
We lost the knowledge of concrete for the better part of a millenium after the fall of the Roman Empire and we've only recently begun to understand how the rockets that sent astronauts to the moon worked less than 50 years ago.

I've been around the auto industry for close to three decades now including my time as an engineering co-op student. Like Angus MacKenzie I've seen a great many weird things happen. Very early in my career I even played an ever so small part in the abbreviated life cycle of M100 Lotus Elan that Angus writes about.

Why Facebook isn’t the right company to create a Google Reader replacement — Tech News and Analysis
Summary: With speculation that Facebook might be launching an RSS reader at its press event next week, it’s important to think about why users loved the Google Reader experience. Hint: it wasn’t because Google Reader was social.
