Compaq Presario CQ45 I think. Bought on sale at bestbuy for $300. Everything prior to this one had been someone else's.

It's been a while (6-8months) since I DELETED my account, but I do remember separate options for delete vs deactivation. Out of curiosity I tried logging in again and received "email you have entered does not match any account". While I'm sure the account exists somewhere in the facebook database, it appears to have been successfully deleted.

Anyone else have similar results?

I don't know how they can 'average' the american worker. Due to the obvious attempt to make this article seem relevant to as many readers as possible, I would have found it more interesting if it were a bit more specific.

Certain I'm the minority, but flat UI can be successful and very effective. With limited user paths and a design aesthetic that leans towards minimalism I have found that the user efficiently accomplishes the 'goals' assigned to them. However, if flat UI is treated as fashion often is (ignoring practicality, testing, and user metrics) then no doubt it will be unsuccessful. No research to refer you to, but I believe many major players in the industry adopted flat UI in an attempt to create a modern appealing look for their brand, and then went about optimizing the UI as they saw fit based upon user metrics and testing. As a designer I often continue to find myself influenced by pseudomorphic design and other formerly trendy design styles, but my goal is always to create something usable and unique rather than adhere to a current design trend. :D

Can I get a "Huzzah" here, now that's the spirit!

Quirky, but thumbs up!

Agreed!

Didn't crunch the numbers, but as I looked up his/her apps all I could see was $$$ signs.

*face-palm

Exactly what I needed, thanks Katerina Sand

"TL;DR Spec the result you are aiming for. Break it down into smaller things. Identify what you know how to do, and what you don’t. Build what you know; research on what you don’t, and then build it too. Use tutorials to learn the concepts."

Funny I can do.. successful startup?... Mehhhhhhh ;)

Appreciate the advice, truly... but if it were any other business I would instantly be skeptical of a company saying "why you need two of exactly what I sell" (Teaching Startups)

If(I){ were better at programming I would write a program that would teach me how to program better }

"Facebook uses an internal database to track rivals... The database stems from Facebook's 2013 acquisition of a Tel Aviv-based startup, Onavo, which had built an app that secures users' privacy by routing their traffic through private servers. The app gives Facebook an unusually detailed look at what users collectively do on their phones..." - More Privacy Concerns

Wait!.. you mean an app(like facebook) where users voluntarily enter the intimate details of their personal lives doesn't respect their privacy? Sorry for the bias folks, but facebook users typically don't respect even their own privacy.

No worries, looks like it's all cleared up now!

Whoops... Did HN Crash their site?

Anti-Facebookers, stay strong my friends
