Facebook is an advertising company with a software edge. They make something like 90% of their money selling media space. The Facebook "product" is, now, nearly indistinguishable from a marketing gimmick. The real product is the users, access to which they sell for their profits.
Re:A Bitcoin Address with 782,000 BTC Moved Through It

I'm not really familiar with how all these annotations work, but that is spam, no? There are a few references to casions. One message about a "SR mixer" where BTC owners send an amount to a certain address to have it mixed and returned (which I don't trust a bit). It looks to me--though as I said, I may be misunderstanding it--that this account is engaged in some light BTC phishing?
edit: oh, yup. misunderstanding. Those are transaction to the wallet, presumably because this wallet is so obviously well-heeled.

Megaupload hosted a bunch of its content on American servers located on American soil. It was my understanding that this was the justification for the takedown of that particular foreign company.
