Hey everyone,

You have to admit it - for most social people, Facebook is more a habit than a hobby. We’re so accustomed now to logging in, a few times a day, checking photos, notes, groups, etc. Posting on peoples’ walls, making graffiti, and wasting time defining our relationships. Facebook has us like coffee has… well most of the working population. Some people can’t get through a few hours, let alone a day, without their coffee. Now what happens when, the thing that you kind of depend on every day, is bought out by the super mega company that kind of monopolizes all computers in the world? Hmmm! Huge potential for evil!

According to Kara at All Things Digital, Microsoft has been gauging Facebook’s interest in being taken over.

After failing to court Yahoo!, Microsoft is a little anxious for a partner. Well, I think Microsoft-weds-Facebook would be a match made in heaven. You all know Facebook’s real goal is to control and influence large amounts of people to make profit from them. It’s like Orwell’s 1984 2.0. And who better than Microsoft, well besides Google, to help Facebook reach that goal?

There is a real humanitarian crisis happening right now in Burma. After Cyclone Nargis, the military regime has released reports of over 22,000 people dead and 41,000 missing, although a US diplomat in the country claims the death toll may actually be over 100,000 and the missing over 70,000. There are real concerns for peoples access to basic needs and prevention of diseases.
