Well, and if youre someone famous that would be bad. Or if it's your ex who is stalking you or something

Our wings are not tired.
I kinda think that would be bad even if I weren't being stalked and weren't famous...

Does the facebook integration into iOS6 sqick anyone else? I'm wondering how much data mining is going on. It's one thing when you are using the facebook webpage, but if it's integrated into the phone... I dunno. It doesn't sit well with me. Also a little pissy that not all features will work with the latest gen iPad. I understand my iPhone 4 is now in third place, so not all features for it. But the iPad retina?
Not all that impressed with the offerings, such that I feel the need to install it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
On the one hand it's too much, on the other too little?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
What I want to know about the FB integration is, if you turn on Contact synching, if it will still overwrite the email addresses in your contacts with the Facebook emails. That was a BIG issue a few months back when FB changed everyone's primary email to whatever@facebook.com.
I have NOT enabled synching until I know for sure what it does with my existing contacts' email addresses.

On Android, it will show both sets of information. So if I have someone's phone number already, and it's in their Facebook too, it will be in their Contacts twice.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
And I read the other day that Virgin Mobile accounts are pretty easy to hack.
ooh, another good reason to leave Virgin.

Yeah Jon, a great reason not to trust it. I do not want my contact list uploaded into facebook, and vice versa. I work with some celebs. I do not want them in the Facebook data mine, if at all possible.

Anyone using Springpad? Especially if you've tried Evernote, and are using it instead of or as well as?
I swear I was, but I go back and look at my usage, and I add or edit something in Evernote every week, if not every day. It's been months since I fired up Springpad, and I can't remember what my rationale was. I'm hovering over the Uninstall button, but I'm looking for use cases first--it's clearly not unpopular.
