Works fine for me on Chrome 13, OS X 10.6.7, however I do have Web Audio enabled in about:flags. Whether or not the Web Audio API's by-passing jsmad, I don't know.
Re:Reasons You Should Quit Facebook on Sunday May 02, 2010 @06:03PM (#1313313)
I started university when I was 18, and at the same time I joined Facebook. I'm now 22, close to graduating, and Facebook chronicles my last 4 years of misadventure. Yet I have to agree with tptacek, it's not a big deal.

It's not hard to untag yourself from dodgy photos, leave silly groups, clean up your profile and put professional contacts in a restricted list. Most importantly though, I've come to the conclusion most people expect you to have dirt on Facebook. If your boss wants to be your friend on Facebook and doesn't get why you won't actually share any personal info with them... well, good luck to you, but my professional contacts all seem to understand (and often reciprocate for the same reasons).

That photo you untagged yourself from but your friend is in so mutual friends can still see it - I'll agree that's a problem, but not worth throwing a hissy about. We "lost our privacy" the day the camera was invented.

From the video on their blog, about the x-ray stripes: "The black lines you can see across the image are where the satellite that took these data did not collect any information." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE7-6fQ9_48 http://blog.chromoscope.net/
Not entirely sure how you deem this poll to be US-centric. It's the result of a discussion on immigration relating to innovation in the US, sure, but I understand the poll to be more of a look at whether that applies to the Hacker News community.

My point is, vote! It's an interesting poll.
