Seriously, this book reader is slow and has crashed twice on me in 20 minutes. The Kindle app on my cell phone is a much better reading experience. Why can't I have a similar level of quality over the web on my desktop that is at least an order of magnitude more powerful than my phone?
It seems really logical that Amazon would add a Kindle book viewer to their web site. Then, it wouldn't matter what operating system I'm running. Currently, Linux users are left out in the cold. Aside from that, I think many users might prefer to just user their browser rather than download a client.
I don't currently have a Kindle, but I do have Kindle on my Android phone and the PC client.
Suppose that back when you originally created your Facebook account, they had the same privacy policies and open graph initiative that they do today. Would you still decide to sign up for Facebook account?
This interesting app at http://zesty.ca/facebook/ lets you see what is publicly available through Facebook's new data APIs. Facebook's latest privacy settings are a real mess, so I think it's important that people have some transparency into what is actually being made public.
Still, after a fair amount of work, it does seem possible to make most of your profile private, at least as exposed through this API. Here's what you can see for my profile after I've made some rather restrictive changes to my settings: http://zesty.ca/facebook/#/dfjones
