Matter and Anti-Matter (and God)

I've just seen some news about a discovery on the matter vs anti-matter topic here.
The results seem to show that matter particles are slightly more predominant than the anti-matter counterparts and this is how we came to existence.

However what is more interesting in that page are the comments that have been generated. I've been reading some of them. I found very interesting the replies to "read the Bible GOOF BALLS". It seems that there are still some believers out there (I am one of them) but also people that would use the Bible to wipe out their ass.

I don't know if such discoveries will ever be able to actually proof the origin of our universe or our own existence but they certainly encourage people to forget about God and restrict themselves only to science theories. It remains to be seen what will be the impact of this research.

Facebook privacy

A few days ago Yahoo has published a guide to help people in making the right settings on Facebook. That guide is a good place to learn about the bunch of settings needed to protect your Facebook profile from unwanted access.

However, today I found out of a great tool that does all the necessary checks for you and allows you to fix all the problems by simply clicking a button. The tool is available here. You don't need to be a guru to use it. Just copy a link into your bookmark bar, log in to Facebook and click the bookmar link. The rest is piece of cake.

I am just a bit worried about the extra stuff this tool might do. However they provide the source code on their website and many magazines seem to write well about the tool. But I am still wondering if the actual button does more than just fixing your privacy issues. If anyone has made a full test of the code (I just don't have time to do it now) please let me know.
