Removed all traces of Facebook from this site

I've removed all traces of Facebook from the site after reading a rather interesting article on how Facebook screws basically everyone who ever has a site with their system, or knows someone who does:

I've also removed the "share" buttons off the site, so now you'll have to manually copy & paste the URL. Sorry :p

On the other hand, the site should load a little faster now. Not sorry :p

"I've got nothing to hide, I don't mind if the NSA snoop on me" [updated 2x]

Tags: 

Read this article if you still believe you've nothing to hide so you don't mind if the NSA and the US government snoop on you.

Update: The Suffolk County (NY) Police Department have released a statement saying that they investigated the people in the story because of a tip-off by a local company that an ex-employee had been googling for "pressure cooker bombs" and "backpacks" while at work, theoretically concerned the now ex-employee was going to go postal using the knowledge gained from searching online while at work. Because that's how crazy people do it. Allegedly.

Updated again: The family have responded to the police report, basically that the information they were given, and the wife's original story as referenced by the article above, is different to what the police are now saying.
