Oh, yeah, and I'll surely trust the answers of a guy whose company was just acquired and who's first comment about it contains this PR BS:
"Facebook is run in an open way thats aligned with Oculus culture. Over the last decade, Mark and Facebook have been champions of open software and hardware, pushing the envelope of innovation for the entire tech industry. As Facebook has grown, theyve continued to invest in efforts like with the Open Compute Project, their initiative that aims to drive innovation and reduce the cost of computing infrastructure across the industry. This is a team thats used to making bold bets on the future."
It's PR crap, but he isn't entirely lying. Facebook does support open standards. Facebook's policies on their site may be shit, but that doesn't mean everything they do is "evil" or whatever you want to call it. What Palmer is saying in the article is probably true, at least right now. It might not be true next week or next month or next year, but right now details like that were probably part of the purchase agreement. Until such a time that there is actual PROOF of all this doom and gloom happening I will keep an open mind and not be blinded by hate.
