One new article link has been added to our Related News page. CNN published an article titled Why Facebook is stockpiling Blu-ray discs.
Those data demands will only increase with time, particularly as personal cameras and smartphones become capable of capturing higher-quality images. That’s why Facebook engineers have developed a storage prototype using Blu-ray discs that they believe could greatly reduce the cost of archiving all that data.

One new article link has been added to our Related News page. ZDNet published an article titled Anger mounts after Facebook’s ‘shadow profiles’ leak in bug.
The personal information leaked by the bug is information that had not been given to Facebook by the users – it is data Facebook has been compiling on its users behind closed doors, without their consent.
A growing number of Facebook users are furious and demand to know who saw private information they had expressly not given to Facebook.
Facebook was accidentally combining user’s shadow profiles with their Facebook profiles and spitting the merged information out in one big clump to people they ‘had some connection to’ who downloaded an archive of their account with Facebook’s Download Your Information (DYI) tool.
