Precisely!!It's fun to start a company with your friends, but at some point you should cash in, hand the company over to grown-ups, and get started on crashing your Ferrari into a telephone phone, with a passenger that you thought was a woman, but that when reading the police report, you learn he really wasn't.

If I bought I diamond ring for my wife from Overstock.com I'd be embarrassed, too.
And worse, SHE had to ask him who he intended to give the ring to. Wanna wager on how long the marriage will last?
Oh come on, when your SO keeps telling you that he's absolutely not buying you jewelry for x-mas and it shows up that he bought a ring online... wouldn't you ask to?
Missa
Why spoil the surprise? Ask (with frying pan in hand, if necessary) after the holiday....
Perhaps the ring was to be used in the kitchen after all (see attached):
hey i like my facebook! its nice for keeping up on what my friends are up to. most of them i would be totally clueless as to where they live and what they are doing. of course you need to decide how much personal info you want to put out and some people are dumb about that. I never noticed this new app, but IIRC pretty much all the apps on facebook are opt in as you have to add them to your account. I have never noticed anything on my news feed about people buying anything. and even according to the article, the guy did have to click an OK box or something to make it show up on his account.
In the version that Facebook launched, a person logged into Facebook who bought, say, a movie ticket, was alerted that the Web site was sending a "story" to his profile and had a chance to opt out -- both at the merchant's site and on his own page, Facebook says.
Tony,from the article...
and i looked in my applications on Facebook, and Beacon is not listed. So apparently this guy made the concious decision to add it to his profile and then bitched when it did exactly what it said it would. wah wah ma cry cry
interesting, i dont see any way at all to adjust privacy settings on marketplace and gifts
See what I mean?
There is a tiny link to "edit applications" after the sentence "News Feed and Mini-Feed may publish stories about your applications" on the lower right hand side of the page I linked above. From there you have to individually change the settings of every single application to opt out of info being included in the news feeds, if you wish.
of course you need to decide how much personal info you want to put out and some people are dumb about that.
Ahhh what a numnut!
What do you expect when you put your private information out there for everyone to see? This Facebook/MySpace phenomenon is amazing, in that it proves just how stupid 98% of the population is.
