Cloudflare, you mean? It's optional, isn't it? So I don't think there's any reason to be scared. Don't want, don't use.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Facebook has bought Insagram.
For a BILLION DOLLARS. There are like 6 people in that company!
Makes you wonder how much marketing info they are pulling from your pictures to pay that much money for a photo sharing app.
Is there any way FB could get the tiniest extra peek into their competitors' backyard by not limiting Instagram's posting functionality to just them? I guess it depends on many things, including how many rights they ask for when you install it.
I've never used it, because I'm way too old school hipstery for it.
As if.
ita ! thanks for the info on Skyflame or Cloudfyre or whatever the hell it is. I updated my Dreamhost account with it...and ooh, I need to re-up my domain name in 16 days!
Onerous task!
A friend of mine is looking for recs for a Mac laptop. "Easy to use, lots o' memory, willing to pay whatever it takes ... "
Thoughts?
(Xpost with Natter)
Your friend should wait 3–4 weeks, because new Intel CPUs are coming out, and a Mac hardware refresh in imminent.

Erin, ask her if she wants/needs an optical drive. If not, a MacBook Air might be the way to go.
I forget--are there rumors some MacBook Pro models will go optical-less?
eta: from Tom's link:
Apple is believed to be releasing a slimmer 15" MacBook Pro sans optical drive on or around April 29, while a slimmed-down 13" model will come around June 3. The 17" MacBook Pro may not be updated until later in the year.
