"From a beta tester: Apple tablet is OLED + back has solar pad for recharging, but (the charger) really doesn’t work quickly. More a gimmick. Verizon+att, wifi yes! Apple Tablet has thumbpads on each side for mouse gestures, reads fingerprint for security. Up to 5 profiles by fingerprint for family."

I just launched Friendfeed in my browser and found myself logged in as someone else. I don't know the person, nor did I create a bogus account. I'm attaching photos of what I found. Interesting, I could add in additional services to their account, or change their username/email, but not their password. What's this alarming glitch about?
I just got confirmation that the FF team is on it. It's likely a simple bug needing a quick fix, from what I understand. Thanks again, for posting this, Courtney.
- Micah
Great! Not sure how or why I was logged in as someone else. I was good and didn't change anything :-) Still... hope they figure it out.
- Courtney Engle
Just a question: are you on your own home network? Or are you connected in office, behind a firewall? I had a problem like this with a mail service, but was due to a problem between the proxy, the firewall and the webpage. I think this can be a useful information to know.
- Brixie
on my own home network, over wifi, but password protected. No other users of the network use Friendfeed, or most any other social media sites.
- Courtney Engle
perhaps ... I forget the other 2 users accounts I've seen before. must be trolls hiding under the basement steps!
- Courtney Engle
I'm checking logs to see if I can find how this happened, but typically it is the result of a bad intermediate proxy (at your ISP) caching cookies or set-cookie headers. Try using https (https://friendfeed.com/) to avoid this. Meanwhile, please visit http://whatismyip.org/ and let me know what it says.
- Paul Buchheit
I emailed it on to Kevin. It shouldn't matter, but I just make a habit of not announcing my IP so publicly. :-)
- Courtney Engle
I found a tech support forum post that seems to describe the same class of problem you're talking about here, Paul: http://www.liferay.com/web...
- Micah
Courtney, do you know who Dennis is? It appears to be a valid login from the same IP at the time the cookies switched.
- Paul Buchheit
Not a clue. I was also working away on my computer prior to opening Friendfeed. Very curious. I'm happy to offer up any info I can. The 2 other times this happened were also new accounts it appeared, without profile icons and few connections yet. Looking back I wish I would have done screenshots then too.
- Courtney Engle
oooh... the only bookmarklet i have in my toolbars is to load TwitterKeys.
- Courtney Engle
After more research, I think something bad is happening. I'm pretty sure the requests came from your computer. Have you run a spyware/botnet checker on your computer recently?
- Paul Buchheit
May be there is some virus or adware installed in your computer and it is created FF accounts of its own to spread malware from, so when traced back, these accounts would have origin your ip?
- TrafficBug
I heard someone else having the same problem, I will direct him to this thread. While I experienced finding myself logged in as someone else on an external application using the FF oAuth (I posted about it here a couple of days ago) but that has been solved with the app programmer who got in touch with Benjamin. Still, maybe the issues are related so Paul if you need more details let me know.
- Flavio
I'm finding bot logins coming in from hundreds of IPs like yours, some of whom aren't even FriendFeed users. They are all from FireFox but multiple versions and multiple os (windows, mac, linux), so I think there must either be a hole in Firefox, or one of the extensions. What extensions do you have installed? (go to Tools/Add-ons)
- Paul Buchheit
oh boy, I may overwhelm you in Firefox plugins to search through for a bug. Looking for a quick way to list them all.
- Courtney Engle
Just as a side note I want to express how impressed I am that Paul is handling this personally. Way to go! :)
- Jan Ole Peek
http://courtneyengle.com/resourc... will likely overwhelm the Friendfeed hunt for the culprit. I've heard from Kevin & Paul both in the quest to resolve this. I am highly impressed :-) Hoping to help stop whatever the source is... and move on to maybe adding more platforms here...? And getting stats for my ff.im shortlinks? ;-) Maybe even sync my lists w/ Facebook and Twitter? (okay, done making requests).
- Courtney Engle
I do use other browsers for the plain effect. Just do a lot of my "work" in Firefox. Videos in Safari mainly.
- Courtney Engle
Courtney, the plot certainly thickens. Were any extensions downloaded from the largest populated country in the world? :)
- Micah
Happened to me as well; more than once.
- Phillip Gibb
Phillip, do you mind posting your list of extensions as well? If we know which ones both you and Courtney have, then we'll have a much better idea which is causing the problem.
- Paul Buchheit
To make my quick list mentioned above, I used https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US... (yes, a plugin to list plugins... ). To test things, I've kept my Firefox window loaded most all of the time since this happened with an https:// and checking back often. No mysterious activity.
- Courtney Engle
Do Christians honestly believe that God has a preference for their favorite sports teams and performs tiny miracles as part of "his will" that one wins over the other? Is he really that petty? Does that mean the other team has somehow displeased him and are unworthy of his blessings? What if that team has Christian supporters as well?
I really have never understood all the players and coaches that always say how they prayed and God gave them the victory. For something as inconsequential to survival and as arbitrary to morality as sports, it just doesn't make sense to me.
- Lindsay
I totally get the whole "keep everyone safe" thing. THAT makes sense to pray for... but I listened to an interview with one of the influential players for the Cardinals/Packers game this morning driving to work and he was talking about how he prayed the whole game and how God helped him win it in the end, as if it were a Holy Crusade and he was the moral victor based on his faith which must have been stronger than the other team's. I just don't get that...
- Lindsay
Yeah, I'm not sure about the "please let us win" prayers, but I was on the sports medicine team in high school and most of the football pre-game prayers were along the lines of praying for no injuries and a fair, enjoyable game for everyone.
- Rochelle
As a Christian, I feel the same. I've never prayed for a team to win...but I have prayed for safety for the players. Guess we have a lot in common.
- Bubba Botts
I always roll my eyes when they say that stuff. But I guess the fact that in a non believer had something to do with it.

I would just find it insulting if I were a Christian supporter of the losing team. But I guess you're right, Glen, Christians largely don't seem to pay attention to that kind of philosophic logic.

I can't remember the comedian but this guy had a bit about this very thing. You never hear the losing team thank God. "We were doing fine until Jesus went and fumbled the ball. Thanks a lot, Jesus."
- James Ferguson
It's really easy to take an outward representation of a belief system, apply or attribute our own perceptions of the motivations behind it, and then mock it or critique it to our own edification. Most of us do that with anything we're skeptical of, or removed from. We ridicule those from other faiths based on distorted representations of those faiths. We now even ridicule users of other...

- Mark J
I'm totally admitting lack of insight there, Mark. I DON'T GET IT. Can you explain the logic to me?
- Lindsay
I think Christians believe God provides them strength; strength to succeed and also strength to endure loss. sports may seem fickle to you but a victory in any walk of life can have profound impact on an individual, and some believe that victory cannot be achieved without God's help. and on the matter of God choosing one team to win over another, have you seen Bruce Almighty? God can't answer everyone's prayers.
- chrisofspades
Lindsay - Wow, I wasn't really expecting to become the representative for all world religions just yet.. maybe the "logic" you seek simply isn't there? Most belief systems, particularly religious beliefs, don't involve an overwhelming amount of logic. That's why they're called faiths, no? If logic is the key determinant, you're not likely to find it. But if you also declare, on that...

What I perceive, all too often, is that high praise like this a self- (or at best, team-) centred celebration that counters the appearance of self-importance by boisterous attribution to God. The problem isn't giving thanks which can be done anytime in one's prayer closet, it's the spectacle that's part and parcel of sporting culture. *performs the Ickey Shuffle*
- Micah
He does have favorites, but won't admit it. And for the record, His favorite NFL team is the Dallas Cowboys. But He doesn't intervene to help them beat another team, because that would be wrong. He just enjoys watching them do their best. Just like He enjoys watching all of us do well, while cringing a bit when we screw things up from time to time. He's a proud Dad watching all of His kids do their thing. And He loves us all no matter what.

No, we don't. I like seeing opposing teams praying on both sides of the field, though.

This post reminded me of Mark Twain's "The War Prayer": "O Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our hearts, go forth to battle-be Thou near them!

O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the...

- Eivind
@Eivind - yeah, I guess I can understand a bit about invoking God's favor in war... I mean, in most cases, you go to war because the other side conflicts with your morals and is therefore "evil". So, obviously God should favor you since you're the "good" side and he should smite your enemies. I just don't get that in relation to sports, since neither side is morally superior to the other... it's a GAME.
- Lindsay
The point in The War Prayer is that when you pray for victory you also prays for someone else's defeat. To explicitly pray for that wouldn't sound as good.
- Eivind
when we pray, we should ask for help in reaching our full personal potential. but that should come after we say thanks for all the cool shit we have already be able to do. if we are praying, it's assumed that we believe that there is a God. that being said, we owe pretty much everything to Him to begin with. Saying thanks is always a good idea.
- Morgan
@Morgan, I totally get that for personal achievements... but for team sports, or even just competition in general, where it's a game, not a real life situation (like war) where your opponent deserves defeat because they are in the wrong (yes, I know this is relative), it seems really rude to basically declare that God favors you when you win over your opponent, who probably put in about...

All right-thinking people favor the same sports teams I do, so obviously God does, too.
- John (bird whisperer)
for team sports, there's only one team that God actually dislikes - the Washington Redskins. It's the redheaded stepchild of the NFL. And when you consider that His secret favorite is the Dallas Cowboys, it all makes sense.

I am genuinely annoyed the old Onion article "Basketball Player Blames God For Defeat" is not online right now. =P But in a similar vein: http://www.theonion.com/content...

God WAS a fan of the Cowboys until the era when Jimmy Johnson became their head coach, and Michael Irvin became their mouth. At that point Jerry Jones couldn't buy enough indulgences to maintain their "most favored" status. Since then God told me that he's focused mostly on Australian football.

I guess it just seems extremely rude and prideful to me to people of their own faith, to believe that God favors them more than their opponent in a game. @Crutis - yes it may be someone's job, but their counterparts have the same job, so if God really is favoring one over the other then someone did something bad or he's just playing favorites arbitrarily (which seems petty to me, but...

It seems that most iLife apps realize their potential when used in conjuction with their online services(.mac/ MobileMe). Picasa (and Google apps in general) accomplish most of the same things for free.

for me it's mainly for multi platforms (having mac,win & linux at home). As an app (and i'm not an expert, used it on Win.) it's very easy to use, with various tagging options and it works quite well on my home network storage so it is perfect for our "home photo processing work flow->(i.e. i move the pics to the drive, wife is organizing and tag them :))
- Naor Mark
After installing, I realized that Google is investing in video a lot with this, particularly with connecting YouTube directly to the interface. Given that most consumer cameras can shoot acceptable quality videos (which will increase significantly soon), Picasa is likely to become more relevant for videos at some point.

I'd like to echo Sparky's question: Can someone articulate advantages over iPhoto? Is it just sync to cloud integration?

Personally speaking I find that iPhoto is a 'walled garden' or in OSx speak 'a package'. If you want to store your images in different folders, with different names, manipulate your images with another app, you have to set up aliases and all sorts of other nonsense. Picasa allows you to import your images wherever you want so they can be used by whatever app you want and that includes Picasa. It has basic image manipulation which I find very intuitive to use.
