This is probably the most comprehensive article about the background to this situation and reasoning as to why McAfee seems to be losing his mind: http://gizmodo.com/5960138/the-crazy-secret-journal-of-john-...

At the very least they should ban apps that have a way where no matter how many times you check it, the icon always has the little (1) on it. GetGlue was doing this for a while, but it appears they stopped.

Revisions = 1

Good to hear you're realistic here.

I always feel bad after hearing about people asking a designer from elance for 50 revisions to make it just right.

TLDR - Tyrannosaurus tore the head off armoured prey to reach the tender neck meat.

"According to Facebook you are not allowed to read this post, so beware."

That was exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

At what point did the dollar become the standard? Post World War 2 I'm guessing? What was the equivalent before? Anyone know?

Has this been corroborated outside of that tweet yet?

Congrats on shipping. You should post this on /r/gaming on reddit, they are really supportive of indie devs producing games.

Looks promising, I'll check it out for sure. Thanks!

Love this headline. For those unaware, Craigslist is suing PadMapper for using their data.

I was onboard until I saw the Comic Sans font, that's where they lost me.

The increased emphasis on photo sharing is interesting. Facebook bought Instagram a few months back. Just the other day Google announced the acquisition of Snapseed. Now Twitter is making changes to make photo sharing more relevant to the experience.

It seems like photo sharing is strategically important to each of these companies. Anyone have any insights as to why?

Jim and Craig,

I'm a longtime user of Craigslist, but I'm really disappointed in your decision regarding PadMapper. It would be great if you could weigh in on the debate happening on Hacker News or elsewhere.

Thanks,

The moment MBAs become the new developer or designer, you can no longer argue we aren't in a bubble.

Anyone have a list of potential buyers? Seems like the list would be really short.

Would they go into this if they thought it would make less money? Probably trying to go after users who pirate the software and try to make it seem more appealing to subscribe so they at least get some revenue.

I'd like to believe there is a market need for a cheap Photoshop Light. $99 or something low for a version of Photoshop that has 90% of the features removed. Just the most basic ones for the average user left in. I get the sense that most people who pirate Photoshop and make the rest of us endure the terrible DRM are only pirating the $600 piece of software to rotate and crop images because nothing else is out there.

"I hope they don't mess this up with crappy DRM, like in their standalone CS editions."

No kidding. Adobe is a prime example of a company that doesn't understand DRM. I don't need your application to constantly hog my bandwidth after I already gave you several hundred dollars.

TC reporting that deal is in the works, not done.

This ends the speculation that it would be May 14th for Zuckerberg's birthday.

That's a good idea for a compromise in this situation. Do you have a sample NDA that you could share?

Love it or hate it, this thing is going to take over our twitter feeds for the next couple of days / weeks.

Every once in a while Facebook does the right thing. Is there any sort of self-motivating factor that I'm missing here? (other than good PR)

I am disappointed by the lack of comments referring to this as the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy finally realized.

It bugged me as well, but I assumed English wasn't his first language, so it is forgivable in my book.

I think you just described 90% of the content on Mashable.
