Зошто да го избришете Вашиот Myspace профил?

Да беше друг ден веројатно ќе напишев некој збор повеќе за ова. Денес само цитати:

I actually care about my friends, and don’t want to screw them over my making them a “friend” on Myspace. By using myspace, I’m forcing my friends to sign up for a corporate owned, ad ridden, heteronormative web service if they want to stay in touch with me.

We consider network services that are Free Software and which share Free Data as a good starting-point for ensuring users’ freedom. Although we have not yet formally defined what might constitute a ‘Free Service’, we do have suggestions that developers, service providers, and users should consider

ACCESSING THE DATABASE
Once you have your application written and it has gotten quite large (100,000 users is a modest Facebook application, these things really do have a tendency to go quite viral), it is time to start the information digging. Each Facebook application can access many many stats on each user including but not limited to Name, username, Gender, Sexual Preference, Religion, Political Preference, Age, Geographic Location, Interests, Facebook networks and a list of their Facebook friends. How would one do this you might ask? Just a few simple lines of code:

<code>
/*This is the magic line! This line gets all the info we need, as you can see right here I am
only getting the birthday, gender, geographic location and education level of the user, but I could
get all of the things mentioned above just as easily). This assumes that the user ID has been
already stored in the variable $user.*/

$foo=$Facebook->api_client->sql_query(“SELECT birthday, sex, current_location, education_history
FROM user WHERE uid = $user”);

// Start the query

$query = “INSERT INTO users_information (uid, sex, city, state, country, school, birthday) VALUES
(‘$uid’, ‘$sex’, ‘$city’, ‘$state’, ‘$country’, ‘$school’, ‘$birthday’) ;

mysql_query($query);
</code>

Just those simple lines of code was all it took me to get all the data on 100,000 Facebook users. Of course being a responsible citizen I promptly deleted the data after I collected it, removed my application and deleted my Facebook account. But what if I was not a responsible citizen?

Да го бришеме ради CIA и

Да го бришеме ради CIA и пошто прават кеш од нас продавајќи ги нашите „интимни“ податоци? Ако е таква работата ондак да ги бришеме и нашите google gmail и picasa, нашите yahoo mail i flicker...

Open source, идеата е прекрасна, ама треба машина за пари да ги дотера на ниво на Facebook или Windows со сите попратни игрици и програмчиња.
