    From the piece links to: "This is typical of Williamson: he’s happy to say out loud things that plenty of other conservatives believe but are too smart to admit" Ah, well, OK then. Sorted.

    Download your Facebook account .zip off their site, unzip it, then go to the HTML folder, open the contact_info.htm file. See records of who you've talked to on your cell—not with the app, just on your regular cellphone—and for how long.

    Oh wow my deleted Facebook Zip file contains info on every single phone cellphone call and text I made for about a year- cool totally not creepy.
