  1. Internet giant Facebook is accessing smartphone users' personal text messages, an investigation revealed Sunday. Facebook admitted reading text messages belonging to smartphone users who downloaded the social-networking app and said that it was accessing the data as part of a trial to launch its own messaging service, The (London) Sunday Times reported. A spokesman for Facebook says while nothing has been launched yet, users will be prompted to give permission when the feature debuts. "The permission is clearly disclosed on the app page in the Android marketplace and is in anticipation of new features that enable users to integrate Facebook features with their texts," a spokesman for Facebook said in a statement. "However, other than some very limited testing, we haven't launched anything yet so we're not using the permission. Other well-known companies accessing smartphone users' personal data -- such as text messages -- include photo-sharing site Flickr, dating site Badoo and Yahoo Messenger, the paper said.

  2. See. Now your brain is a lot better in THIS, compared to all the crap about sending the © to Culver and yadayada in other posts. Thats better! THIS only! But you know how the is with its plan. Some of them are plain stupid. Like the to Whitehall instead of sending that joint to Astoria to replace those UNNEEDED shuttles. I would of also had the extend to 21st Street, Astoria or 42nd Street, instead of it ending at Whitehall. To ENABLE a DIRECT connection to the at 42nd Street instead of the and/or at Jay St to the at W4th Street.
  3. Happy Birthday dude! And Enjoy it =)!

  4. Fastrack = Done Fastrack (© = Next ....And any future ones too. I'm not gonna focus on just a single line of course ! But happy hunting!
  5. This will answer your question: http://advisory.mtanyct.info/pdf_files/BDFM_FASTRACK_map.pdf
  6. Ok, but knowing nassau they wouldn't pay the MTA, so pretty much the MTA would still cut LIB for good. Now looking at NICE, they still plan to run with the $2 million. Even tho there will be changes. And yes Nassau may be forced to pay up a bit more regardless.
  7. The (2)/(5) also swap lines, even when there is no G/Os are in effect. Usually one is sent down on ether line due to delays on ether line. Lots of times I see this happening.
  8. Express Bus Service to the city? Thats awesome! But are we talking about JUST to Queens or directly to Manhattan? Because this could cause somewhat a completion with LIRR. But don't you see, the was going to cut half its routes during the year, and then completely shut down LIB in the future, due to lack of funds. NICE on the other hand, is going to continue service. However, I don't even know if these reduced service will even help out. I'm sure some cuts will have to occur in the future. Yeah, the would of done better, if Nassau would pay up, but we can't do anything. All we gotta hope for is NICE will not become a major problem.
  9. But you could still connect with the via 8th Avenue and Broadway at 42nd Street.
  10. Well if Queens needs its service, I really doubt the MTA would extend service on its current subway lines. BRT would be needed to help out in ways. I would also consider restoring the Q79 bus, since people near the border don't have a way going up and down. For the Rockaway Line, as I mentioned before, maybe a light rail could do. I don't think the MTA would even extend the line to the QBL. Maybe a connection with the / could do, but that I'm not sure.
  11. Forget that crap, Queens has a lot of service around. While there are undeserved areas, no need to focus on that yet. I would rather bring Staten Island to the table with some rail. WHICH is REALLY undeserved. The SIRTOA only runs up and down, but those in other parts of the SI, only got Buses around, no rail, not even a LIGHT RAIL. Extend the HBLR and activate the North Shore Line.
  12. I don't understand why send the to Whitehall Street via Montague Tunnel, instead of having it end at 42nd Street via Bridge............ If its because of the coming out of 21st Street, so what? Have it switch to the Local at 57th Street, and back to the Express at Prince St. Instead of having customers use alternative connection between Brooklyn & Manhattan.
  13. There is plans to convert the line into a park, just like the High Line, NOT a rail. Maybe a LRT would be nice, but even that I wouldn't see.
  14. This will never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRR happen. So why keep bringing this up? Do you have some "pleasurable" dreams of this at night? Keep dreaming.. More clean up to do! This is why you get hit with criticisms all the time, smh!
  15. It was pretty bad. Heres a clip of the massive delays at Queensboro Plaza from yesterday: @FC whats B/O? (Not Bus Operator)
  16. Why wouldn't fastrack work on an EL? I'm sure Fastrak is not only meant for tunnels only. For the Nostrands, you have the bus as an alternative, and shuttle bus service. There have been G/Os in the past with Nostrand service suspended. to Utica as well.
  17. lol.... The isn't even here and there is talks already about where it I'll go.. No one knows, so how can anyone answer this? Then soon someones gonna change the topic, and likely a flame who come in... aye ..
  18. The issue with the ( is not related to a 12-9.. Gun Shots someone told, which occurred on the street.
  19. Might be because the BMT 60th Street tunnel would block access to the street level. Besides, people can use 59th Street IRT/BMT Station or 63rd St instead. For those going down 2nd Avenue, use the +SBS/Local M15 or walk. As for when anything below 72nd Street would open, its unknown at this point. We still stuck on Phase I.
  20. Yeah... Maybe the 42nd street Shuttle, but along normal routes, i don't think so... The ONLY thing I can thing of that could allow Subway service to continue, is if they had 2 trackways open (Local / Express), and the track one would wrong rail on the Exp track. the 2 side tracks would be out of service. But this won't happen, because the MTA prefers to fix up the entire 4 tracks.
  21. Yeah... But Standard Weekend, Midday and Late Night General orders still are active. How long before we will see those go byebye? Or maybe never...
  22. Chill out, no need for anger.. Its annoying when a topic is made and later turns off topic. Everyone can FORGET the . Its UNKNOWN if it ill come back. It could but UNKNOWN. was cut because of budget, NOT related to the SAS or anything. The I don't see coming back, the is doing a good job, I have no problems with it (Don't care for orange haters ether). For the i don't see a future for a WHILE, it ill likely come in when we are all dead, if it does. Remember Phase I isn't even finished, and god knows if 2016 will be the finish line. As i said before, I don't care about any extensions, all I care about is the IRT Lexington Avenue Line as well as buses in the east getting a relief from crowd and having the SAS do most of the work. If none of you want to deal with problems, then just don't bring anything to the table and keep it on topic. sheeh
  23. Dude, are you high or something...?? All your fantasy will never happen. KEEP dreaming.. via LIRR Rockaway branch? I LOL'ed at this. Your in "Phila" as you claim... Maybe you'd like to improve the Broad Street and MFL lines instead? But wait... That may also become a failure as well.. SMH!
  24. via 2nd Avenue? I would just have the run local from Astoria to Whitehall, extended to 9th or Bay Parkway in place of the former brown (Mx) in South Brooklyn to help the out. But I get what you mean. Even tho the passengers may not please these changes. For a short time...
  25. Thank You! The NEC begins to leave the north of Westchester Avenue (IRT Whitlock) by a few and more blocks. This doesn't serve anyone south of the . I HIGHLY doubt a subway would even end up on that structure, especially with Metro-North already planned for that. No need for a Subway to run on the Corridor. I'd rather see the 2nd Avenue Subway head along 3rd Avenue, to help out in that area. But thats yearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs from now. For now im just worried about whats going on to help relief those on the IRT Lex Line.
