iPhone 2010

The highly anticipated iPhone is almost here, and due to a scandalous leakage, details of the iPhone have been released on Apple's website. Gizmodo.com was the first to report on the sleek look of the iPhone, creating all the hubbub. Apparently, an apple employee who actually took ownership of the phone left it on a bar stool, and someone picked it up. The iPhone eventually made it back into apple's possession, but didn't stop the rumors.
The expected date for the unveiling of the iPhone 4G is suspected to be June 22, 2010, and other carriers such as Verizon are supposedly are introducing the iPhone to their network. Apple veterans seem to know exactly what to expect. Some exciting, improved features include video chat, new body design, built-in GPS, all-encompassing e-mail (multiple accounts), more design options, removable battery, 64G memory, and OLED screen.

2007 – All profile information available for anyone belonging to the same network
2009 – All facebook personal information is available to everyone in default settings.
2010 – When you connect with a certain Facebook-enhanced application, you and your friends pictures, groups, personal info. Etc. is available for the public.
2010 is the newest default settings on Facebook, The only way to not “connect” with the Facebook is to manually change your privacy settings.
