Facebook responds once again for privacy concerns of third-party partners having read/write access to our private messages within Facebook. Nothing should surprise us anymore when it comes to Facebook, to be honest. Kirk will be carrying the show into the New Year and I will be back with you live from CES on Tuesday, January 8th. I want to thank each and every one of you that have been long-time subscribers and also all of you that have supported my sponsor or have provided donations through the insider program. My hope is that you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
