<quote> Facebook outbreaks have occurred in August, December, and March, periodically though not particularly seriously - something like the electronic equivalent of herpes. </quote>

Facebook's a slut.

...if Microsoft made a decent, stable OS, they wouldn't be obliged to partner with other companies. Something tells me that MS aren't partnering from the goodness of their own heart... legal issues?

No, you're not the only one who read it as "Knobface". In fact, if I hadn't seen your comment I'd still think it said "Knobface" because I read everything as far as your comment, and then I thought: "Heh? It does say Knobface, doesn't it? ... Oh, actually it doesn't." Perhaps I need glasses or a bigger font.
