Bucking the trend - or at least the perception - that technology companies are more closely aligned with the Democratic Party than the GOP, Facebook’s Political Action Committee "FB PAC" contributed slightly more to Republican politicians during the 1st quarter of 2012 than to Democrats. So does this mean that Facebook "likes" (ha!)

I wanted to write a rant about how its recent acquisition by Facebook can/will ruin my beloved Instagram. And/or all the thoughtful things one could do with a billion dollars.
