+<img border="0" alt="Facebooklogo" title="Facebooklogo" src="http://blog.wired.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/05/24/facebooklogo.jpg" style="margin: 0px 0px 5px 5px; float: right;" />Last week Facebook unveiled its new development platform to open the site up to outside widget makers. Already widgets from iLike and others have seen widespread adoption, but in the rush to commend Facebook on its bid to overtake MySpace as the premier social network site the actual terms of use for the [Facebook platform][4] have largely been overlooked.
+
+While I am among those who would love to see Facebook succeed and MySpace come the way of Prodigy and other closed systems, I think it's worth pointing out that the Facebook terms of service are less than optimal from an outside developer's standpoint.
+
+A recent post on [Sam Sethi's Vecosys blog][1] points out some of the sticky points in the Facebook TOS.
+
+>*	Facebook can limit you or terminate you at any time at their sole discretion (Section A.3)
+*	Facebook reserve the right to impose fees at time and in any manner  (Section 3)
+*	Facebook can copy and distribute your Application, and analyze the content in order to target advertising (Section 4)
+*	Facebook may create similar applications to yours, with no obligation to you (Section 4)
+*	You can't use any name or domain name address containing 'facebook', even at the third level, e.g. "facebook.xxx.com" (Section 6. C)
+*	Be careful what ID you use for your developer account - IDs can't be transferred or sold on, but nor do there seem to be corporate IDs. (Section 7)
+*	Facebook can change the Terms and Conditions at any time, your only recourse if you don't like this is to STOP USING THE SERVICE
+
+>Will Facebook impose a 'tollbooth' or tax on successful widgets? Sure looks like they want to. Will they be building their own competitive versions? Sure looks like they want to. Can they cut you off from the platform at any time? Sure looks like they can. Can they change the ground on which you operate? Sure looks like they can. Do you have a hard and fast relationship with this platform, making it safe to build a 20 million user widget based company on? I don't think so.
+
+While I agree with Sethi that some of these clauses are somewhat alarming from an outsider developer's point of view, I don't think there's necessarily any cause for alarm. On some level Facebook is entering totally uncharted waters and is, understandably I think, covering their butts a bit.
+
+As Chris Messina [points out in the comments][2] on Sethi's post, "I don't think anything in those terms suggests that Facebook wants to build tollroads; nor that they will necessarily build competitive products if yours ends up being successful."
+
+Of course they could do both of those things, should the fancy strike them and that alone may put off some developers.
+
+Check out the full [terms of service][3] for the new Facebook F8 platform.

+In an interview with the Seattle Times AT&T's president of national distribution, Glenn Lurie hinted that some [additional Google applications may be headed for the iPhone][1]. Since the next few weeks should get the hype to a fever pitch, we thought we'd kick off with this lovely rumor.
+
+When asked to justify the iPhone's price tag Lurie says:
+
+>I think when people get their hands on it and really experience it — the touch screen is phenomenal, this touch screen is like nothing you've ever used — to experience that, the skepticism, I think, around some of those things will go away.
+
+>There are other things — you have the widgets, <b>some of the Google applications that are coming</b> -- there are just so many things here that the price will not be an issue.
+
+(Emphasis mine)
+
+Of course Lurie could be referring to the Google Maps features that Jobs unveiled at MacWorld, but it's also possible that there's more in the works -- Google Apps perhaps? Google Reader? Google Notebook? 
+
+Certainly Google Apps optimized for the iPhone would help Apple on the business front, though personally, [Steve Ballmer aside][3], I think the iPhone will do just fine even without the Office suite offerings.
+
+So what do you think my dear readers, could we see Google Apps for the iPhone? Is that even something users would want?

+What if you took the promise of Sun's Java programming language, "write once, run anywhere," and actually made it work? A new open source virtual machine by the name of [Lina][1] is hoping to do just that, and, judging by the video demo, Lina is off to a strong start.
+
+The Lina virtual Linux machine will run more or less normal Linux applications under Windows, Mac, or Linux, using the native look and feel of each system.
+
+As with Java, Lina users first install the VM specific to their platform. Once Lina is installed applications can be run using binaries compiled not for the particular OS, but for the Lina VM, which maps the OS level functions to the system functions of the OS in question (video after the jump).
+
+Lina's larger goal is to bring the vast world of open source applications to the masses via the VM. 
+
+However, your mom probably isn't going to be able to use Lina any time soon. Although the installation of the Lina VM is a drag and drop simple process, firing up the actual applications still requires a trip to the command line.
+
+Look for LINA's public release in June, under the GNU General Public License, (v2) for open source developers who will be able to use Lina for free.
+
+Commercial developers will pay an as-yet undetermined licensing fee and will be bound by the Lina  commercial license.
+
+According to the Lina site, the whole Lina VM weighs at about 40MB after installation, but the Lina team believes they can bring that down somewhat in the future.
+
+Will Lina solve the holy grail of application developers? Is it possible to create a VM that allows for the Linux platform to be the true, write once run anywhere solution that developers have long sought?
+
+It's too early to tell, but personally I'd be happy if Lina could enable me to run Amarok on OS X, and yes, it would be nice to run Photoshop on Linux, but that's probably still a pipe dream.

+With this year's Where 2.0 kicking off this morning, expect the mapping and geodata announcements to hit high gear in a few hours. Microsoft has already [announced a new feature][1] for [Microsoft Live Search Maps][2] which features three-dimensional, photo-realistic maps for New York City, San Francisco and other locations in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada.
+
+The new views show building and landscape details in 3-D and while the service is a bit slow in rendering, the results, once loaded, are indeed eye-popping (see screenshots after the jump).
+
+The new views show aerial views of landmarks and notably locations such as Times Square, Central Park, Wall Street, Rockefeller Plaza and other famous spots.
+
+To use the new 3-D features You'll need to be running Windows and Internet Explorer. There is a Firefox plug-in as well, but I encountered an error when trying to install it and could never get it to work.
+
+Microsoft has made some odd choices for the initial launch location including, understandably New York and San Francisco, but also smaller cities like Austin, Texas, Savannah, Georgia, and Northampton, England.
+
+In addition to the announced cities, a bit of exploring revealed some additional data in places like Boston (though no 3-D model of Fenway Park as I was hoping for).
+
+While I still prefer Google Earth and find it to be faster and has smoother navigation, the new Microsoft Live Search Maps 3-D data beats the pants off anything Google currently offers.

+Google has released a new Maps feature that allows you plan routes that avoid freeways and major interstate highways in favor of quainter, though possibly longer, routes. Beside the driving directions on Google Maps is a new checkbox that reroutes your directions sans interstate.
+
+Though the [Google LatLong blog][2] spins the features as a kind of Robert Frostian alternative navigation system, this could be genuinely useful for folks living in major metropolitan areas where clogged freeways can turn a ten minute trip across town into a rage-inducing two-hour stress-fest.
+
+The new "avoid highways" feature also works with the [recently introduced MyMaps][3] customization tool, so you can plan and retrace your more interesting routes.
+
+Hopefully at some point this functionality will be part of the Maps API, but for the moment Google Earth has the only routing API available to developers.

+
+While OS X ships with Samba disabled, many users looking to easily share files between OSes and across home networks may be using Samba.
+
+At the moment there's no patch available from Apple, though you can install the latest version of Samba yourself if you head over to the [Samba site][3] Samba 3.0.25 patches the buffer overflow bug which is the source of the exploit.
+
+While the Samba exploit has nothing to do with OS X itself, the fact that Apple relies on a number of open source add-on highlights one of the flaws in its periodic updates policy. Open source projects like Samba tend to discover and patch flaws as they come up. 
+
+Linux users for instance can periodically run apt-get (or similar) to seamlessly upgrade all aspects of the system, while Apple users need to rely on Apple to issue patches or hunt down the latest versions of open source programs themselves, which is terribly inefficient.
+
+Given that well over half of the flaws patched in [Apple's recent security update][5] were for open source software packages, perhaps among Steve Jobs' rumored Leopard announcements at the upcoming WWDC we'll see a more modern update system unveiled.

+Mac users are traditionally a picky bunch when it comes to user interface design, but it would seem that Ubuntu users like a refined UI as well. Firefox's form widgets, long the band of many a Mac user don't look so hot on Linux either. Fortunately, [as with the Mac version][3], it's not hard to add some customized graphics.
+
+An Ubuntu fan by the name of Osmo Salomaa has created some much better looking form Widgets for Firefox users and another Ubuntu user has even [written a nice bash script to automate the installation process][1].
+
+If you're not a big fan of the boxy, 1998-style interface that is Firefox's default look for HTML elements, head over to the Ubuntu forums and grab Fat Sheep's script to install some alternatives.

+If you have any problems be sure to post your feedback in the forum thread.
