Facebook: "Hehe, whoops, did we accidentally leak our code everywhere? Hehe"

Facebook: "Hehe, whoops, did we accidentally leak our code everywhere? Hehe"
Last weekend, some Facebook users may have noticed that instead of seductive messages in their inbox and the latest jello wrestling pictures, they were seeing letters.  And numbers.

Yes, folks, for a brief amount of time Facebook homepage coding was exposed to the world. Facebook claims it's no big deal, but Wired disagrees, stating "hackers now have a much better idea of how Facebook works and where potential vulnerabilities may lie. And it’s hardly comforting that such an amateur programming mistake is happening to a site the size of Facebook."

The code was posted on a blogspot blog called "facebooksecrets," but it isn't there anymore.  Google, the owner of blogspot, apparently deleted it.  But this blogger must be a zombie or a Hollywood director, because from him comes "Facebook Secrets Again."  With some boring legal stuff on it.  Dammit, the public demands code!
