In this financial turmoil

We were out for pizza and a few beers last night and while walking from the pizza restaurant to the bar we passed one of the local banks. They clearly feel the wrath of the financial crisis, as you can see below. The sign above the window reads “Nordea presents its customers”.

What the hell, Facebook?

I logged on to Facebook the other day and suddenly started getting several notifications about friends making comments about my personal life, apparently. There has been a lot of talk about new Facebook viruses lately and I wonder if this is part of it? Are we going to start spam filtering of Facebook as well [...]
