My guess is that your actual "friends" or at least the people that know you are importing their address books into facebook, which includes your email address. Facebook then emails everyone on those lists that doesn't have an account. At least that's my best guess after I got one of those creepy emails from facebook exactly as you describe.

Sometimes what you seek most isn't right in front of you, it's sitting on your head.

I would recommend the open source OpenFire server. Install it on your own server, then set the preferences to force SSL connections. Then communicates passed between clients on any platform are SSL encrypted. Turn off local client logging for better security. Beyond that, it's all client-side stuff that doesn't port as well.

Which Phone To Develop For? 344

Posted by kdawson on Friday October 24, 2008 @05:16PM from the building-a-house-around-it dept.

Rob MacKenzie writes "I have to decide on a mobile phone to develop for. We're building a house with some automation built in, and we want the mobile phone to be able to control certain aspects of it, and retrieve information on what's going on in the house. Our choices are the usual suspects: Apple's IPhone, RIM's Blackberry, Nokia's line (Symbian), any Android phone we can get in Canada, J2ME generic app, or a Web-based UI we would interact with in the phone's browser. What would you choose if you had to go with one? Which exact model? We will be buying a few to develop for, so price is a bit of an issue."
