eFuses

Didn't know the eFuse can be reset. They've been in the xbox360 since day 1 to stop hackers. (There's a firmware or two that are hacked but if you've upgraded past that version number the eFuses stop you rolling back)

It seems a bit unfair that Facebook is being blamed for the Vaseline product. Skin whitening products are for sale in many places where people's skin isn't white; Ari came across loads of the stuff when she lived in the Middle East, and they sell it in the Asian supermarket at the end of our street.

Wierd and freaky? Yes.
Exactly the same as the rows and rows of self-tan for sale? Yes*. Seems people will never be happy with their skin colour.
exactly the same as loads of other FB apps where you see what you would look like fat/with glasses/with different hair? Pretty much.

FB is a platform. It always seem weird when they get the blame for the way of the world.

*excepting any medical differences, I know historically skin whitening stuff was made of lead, and whilst it isn't any more, if it were me I'd want I thorough knowledge of the ingredients.
