If I had a choice, I'd delete my Facebook account. I don't agree with the company's morals. Changing privacy settings without notifying users, making new features, like Facebook Places, opt-out (instead of opt-in), and not being upfront about how much content is actually being shared publicly are just a few examples of bad decisions that compromise users' trust. But I can't really do anything about it, and here's why. 

1. If I want to stay in contact with someone, the first thing he asks me is, "Do you have a Facebook?" Facebook is so ubiquitous that it's nearly impossible not to have an account. You almost have to try just to avoid it.
2. Many web services are relying solely on Facebook as their login system. In other words, you need a Facebook account to use them.
3. A lot of people I know schedule events, like birthdays, on Facebook and don't send out regular invitations. If you don't have a Facebook account, you miss the event.

Facebook is too ubiquitous. However, I wouldn't mind having a Facebook account at all if Facebook actually had its users' interests in mind.

Why does anyone need Flash on a phone? You can accomplish everything Flash can by making use of the HTML5 spec, JavaScript, and native binaries.

Around two-thirds of video on the web can be streamed via other H.264 containers (no Flash). You're not going to play Flash games on a phone, as there is no way to simulate a mousehover and you have no idea what type of keyboard the phone has. If you need to view a Flash-based website, send an email to the webmaster telling him that 2006 wants its website back.
