Many people are critical to Facebook, but I claim the reasons they are critical are flawed.
The main reason to be critical to Facebook, is not due to privacy and such reasons.
Facebook is not the web, in the same was as iPad is not a computer.
On the web you can refer to anything you find interesting by linking to it, and make any kind of mash-up, to further enhance the web.
On a computer you can run any program you want, and write any program you want, but on iPad you can not.

I like hacking with everything that makes information useful: Electronics, free hardware/software, knowledge systems, machine learning, AI (and in the future nano technology).
I consider the patent system, the current monetary system and our national borders to be our biggest obstacles against a flourishing world in peace.
Proprietary software and hardware is a dead end.

Favorite quotation:
“If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.” -- George Bernard Shaw
