Fantastic! Congratulations for building on open standards.

If you have any time for this kind of thing, maybe the draft of vCard 4.0 would be of interest to you. We added synchronization features, and there is an extension being written for social networking.

Releasing bad news simultaneously with other unrelated but important news is a common PR tactic. There are PR firms that will tell you (for a price) when big news will happen so that you can announce your layoffs quietly.

nomis80··on Apple fixes broken IPv6 by breaking it some more
Some more details... While IPv6 should be preferred, 6to4 turned out to not work so great in practice. So it's a good decision by Apple to prefer IPv4 over it. But other kinds of IPv6 connectivity (including native) should still be preferred over IPv4.

Because your IPv4 connection is much more likely to be NATed. This does not matter for HTTP because it plays nice with NATs, but other protocols are much pickier. For these other protocols it would make sense to prefer IPv6.
