Secure, huh?]]>Jan 18th 2010 11:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/Jan 19th 2010 2:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/facebook is all about keeping your friends in touch. Sorry to hear your friends are morons.]]>Jan 19th 2010 3:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/
Yeah, secure...

If you're friend is dumb enough to leave his e-mail open, he's probably dumb enough to tell you his password to Facebook. Someone leaving their e-mail open should be grounds calling Facebook's security poorly implemented. The reason it's okay to have URLs that will just log you in is because they're usually extremely long, and the chance of someone guessing that URL is a virtual impossibility, especially in comparison to just guessing someone's account password.

Don't get me wrong, I still hate Facebook though...

all jokes aside, AT&T's network data usage went up 4000% since the launch of the iPhone 3G

I applaud their efforts to keep their sanity under that stressful, unprecedented growth in data usage on their network.]]>Jan 18th 2010 11:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/Jan 18th 2010 11:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/
They probably saw that coming but who in hell would predict a 4000% rise in data usage.

no one]]>Jan 18th 2010 11:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/Jan 19th 2010 1:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/
And the 3G is now... 18 months out of the gate? Of course rather than adding to their infrastructure, Mr De La Vega sees the answer as "teach people to use less of the unlimited bandwidth they are paying for."]]>Jan 19th 2010 8:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/

Most malware these days are installed by naive users clicking 'here', a problem compounded by companies like MS thinking the solution is to bombard users with even more useless pop-ups which re-enforces their click whatever to make it go away attitude, as long as that is the problem, anti-virus software is only ever going to be a mediocre solution.]]>Jan 19th 2010 7:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/Jan 18th 2010 11:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/Jan 18th 2010 11:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/Jan 18th 2010 11:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/Jan 18th 2010 11:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/Jan 19th 2010 1:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/Jan 18th 2010 11:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/Jan 19th 2010 12:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/atandt-fixes-bug-that-logged-users-into-random-facebook-accounts/

I'm a nice guy though - I just logged out and then logged back in and found myself once again where I belonged. I can only hope someone else does the same if they find themselves accidentally logged into my account.
