Disappointing

Not up to usual BOFH standards, lacking the usual depth of cunning.

Microsoft publishes Wi-Fi data collection code

Farcical

Facebook hurls insults, punctuation at growth slump report

Clearly true then

I guess that is about as close to confirmation as we are likely to get. It could just be people getting bored or it could be a reaction to the scant regard for the privacy of members. Either way I think it is about time Facebook had a dose of reality!
