High Costs than Expected of Samsung Galaxy Tablet :

now Apple iPad costs $500 and the leaked cost of Samsung Galaxy Tab is $650 ($400 if you sign 2yrs long contract for services)... are they nuts or what, they got poor resolution and way poor brand-name than Apple... leave all that, its Android based tablet and even after using OpenSource platform they cost high

 Facebook flaw let you Add Anyone to Group :

 one more flaw recently noticed in Facebook is anyone could be added to a Facebook Group without the account owner's prior permission or choice. Suppose you create a Group and want anyone to be its member just add his/her name in members to be added and mark its 'Privacy' status as 'Closed'. Now, whom all you added as member will be directly added without any confirmation required... nice :)
