Just What Is Facebook Sharing About You?

In case you haven't heard, Facebook has made some changes and it's got a lot of people worried about what information exactly is being shared about them, between Facebook and app developers through the new open-graph API? Thanks to a developer by the name of Ka-Ping Yee, there is now a simple tool that shows you everything that Facebook sends to any developer whose app plugs in to the new API. Simply feed the tool your user ID or user name, which can be found in your Facebook profile, Yee tells you how to find it, and you will be presented with the data that's collected and shared.

Police Seize Gizmodo Editor's Computers

Adobe Will No Longer Support iPhone Development Tool

It would appear as though Adobe has given up it's fight with Apple over developer tools ,after Apple updated the terms and conditions of the license that software developers must sign to create and sell apps for the iPhone and iPad shortly before Adobe's release of Creative Suite 5 earlier this month. CS5 was Adobe's tool that would open up the path to iPhone and iPad for Flash developers, Apple however wants full control over it's platform and is playing rough.

Mike Chambers, Adobe's principal product manager for developer relations has written on his blog "...as developers for the iPhone have learned, if you want to develop for the iPhone you have to be prepared for Apple to reject or restrict your development at any time." 

It's as if Apple has a burly bouncer at the door to an exclusive club, and that's why I love my android powered phone!
