Facebook Updating?

Posted by Micahville on July 31, 2007

Excuse me. I was writing a wall post for someone, and you decide to start updating? Why?

Anyone care to speculate what this little error message means for Facebook? What are they doing behind the scenes?

I want to know what is happening…

Have answers to any of these questions, or just want to ask me something? Shoot me a comment!

Why is this good? The Rationale Is: “We require access to un-obfuscated source code because you can’t evolve programs without modifying them. Since open source’s purpose is to make evolution easy, we require that modification be made easy.”

I got rid of iTunes a time ago.
