I’m glad I didn’t bother buying that  Objective-C book now

It is also the last company I would ever give my credit card number to.

Not true. Apple isn’t simply going to sit still. And I don’t see Facebook as being that important in the future. I think it’s popularity will diminish.

I have no desire to use (or buy) any apps from Facebook. No thanks. I’m good with what’s in the Android Market and downloading and using apps locally on my phone, thanks.

Apple has done a great job of floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee…
…but their closed ecosystem is inherently hard to maintain, while keeping up with the always-evolving paradigms of the world – and this article highlights one of the great ironies of their approach. 
Intuitively, all our expectations are that Apple will work fervently to close this loophole…
…I feel bad for iPhone owners who have to live with this Big Brother scenario and don’t get to choose for themselves.

I like how you frame the victory over flash as a shot at apples bow.. but.. whatever… if Facebook is successful, being so huge, everyone will soon follow..
