I've requested my data to be downloaded from facebook 3 times now since my first comment here. Each time, I've gotten the following email from facebook promptly after I've made the request:

" You recently requested a copy of yourFacebookdata. We'll send you another email with a link to yourdownloadwhen it's ready.

So far I've not gotten a second email response from facebook any of the times that I've made the request. (Yes I've checked my spam filter). I do have a lot of photos and videos on facebook and my only real guess is that my account is larger than what their system is setup to export. Though I receive no error or message to that effect so it is merely a guess.

I've had a similar problem with Google Takeout and have not been able to get a copy of all my Picasa Web Albums downloaded from their service. I've paid for storage space for years, but due to changes with Google+ and the fact that I'm paying for other online storage / backup services now, I want to download a full copy of all my albums from Google, which isn't working out.

Luckily I do have a copy of all of my data that is on Google, however, I don't have it organized in the same fashion that I do on Picasa Web albums, thus the reason I had really wanted to download a copy of it.
Sad to say unless something gets fixed with facebook I won't be able to complete our little experiment here.

As of right now I never got a message from facebook that my archive was ready to download. I've gone in and re-requested the archive of my data be prepared for me to download. Hopefully this one will come....

More than a day later and facebook still doesn't have my archive ready for me to download. Facebook lets you download your data unless you have too much data or they are too busy using their processor power to serve up spam, umm, I mean ads.

I just typed: livegoatseatchickenincanada, (into a status update box and into a comment box, but did not submit either one, I allowed it to sit for at least 30 seconds before leaving the page, more than enough time to send / save that text) a phrase which should be unique in my facebook archie. I've requested a copy of my archive be created / sent to me, I'll update this once I get a copy of my archive and search it for said text.

Yes, correct. That is a more accurate term / description of what is happening.

Many commercial buildings have a lot of steal in the structure / roof which is very difficult for higher frequency radio waves to penetrate. (Concrete and block are also difficult for many signals to penetrate) I highly doubt most stores are actively blocking your signal, however many are very likely "passively blocking" phone signals due to the commonly used construction materials in commercial buildings.

Not sure I get your joke exactly. I thought most of the folks around here were android fans. Oh well, yes my point was "Defeated by a Camera". I could have just as easily taken the photo with my Canon and used Canon in the comment also.

The problem with this is that the vast majority of what is on my drive is content that created (e.g. HD movies, RAW photos, graphics work, etc.) I would say there are only a handful of tv shows and such in itunes or Amazon ubox that take up very little space overall.

I strongly suspect a lot of people with chronic pain issues are on some kind of sleeping pills. These people may have skewed the study because they already have health conditions that are leading to increased mortality.
