But isnt that the same as saying "we are protecting your feed from spam", (unless someone pays us enough to trash your feed with spam) - in which case your feed is spam...sorry.
Its just as possible that the currency of likes has simply devalued as like buttons have spread to every corner of the web with facebook login syndication. What kind of engagement does that really amount to? So maybe likes dont drive traffic when not done directly on the page itself.
If I understand your point, I can't imagine what the walls of my friends who Like Washington Post articles, or Target ads, or whatever. I'd like to see a FB anonymizer service that can handle screenshots or page scrapes in order to display the effects of different peoples' preferences on their walls. Like a homepage gallery, I guess!
You could just go to an apple store and buy it. Pretty lazy to pirate something thats pretty cheap to start with. If you dont have 149 bucks, maybe you have bigger problems than word processing?
All responsive design does is force you to spaghetti-fy your application to the point it cant be maintained. A web app using responsive design will never fit it on both android and iOS because it will not look like it belongs on those platforms, so it will to the user look like crap. But oh you say I can shoehorn iUI into the iphone version. Why would anyone bother with this when it is EASY to target these platforms separately. IMO RD is not worth the time. And that goes for phonegap and cross platform app kits. Total waste of time.
I reject the idea, that because I want to scale, I should have to write thread pools, executors, concurrent queues, and task completion APIs. This is 2012, any idiom, functional or not that doesnt support this as a built in capability is less than worthless. How many times do I have to write, rewrite and debug the obvious just to make a living? And as for the factory pattern, yes you can use it to hide a whole bomb load of configuration and code evil, that you probably should never even have to worry about, if you werent working in such a crap tool
Which is why I love working in a Java EE application server like Geronimo where very smart people have gotten paid lots of money to do that boring grunt-work for me, and I can just spend my time building features and deploy a nice scalable system when I'm done.
Actually on solaris, the fork does OOM a java VM. So while this is a pragmatic solution on linux, its also a false promise which will paper over some transient memory requirements while leaving a huge gap in regards to realistic resource expectations. Unfortunately this problem is magnified when using virtual OS instances, and shitty hardware.
