The phishing site that was set up to hoodwink Twitter's users has a second front door that looks exactly like Facebook. The address of the fake Twitter site was twitter.access-login.com/login, but take out the "/login" part and you arrive at the dead-ringer for the Facebook homepage.

var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/apple/MacBook_Pro_17_inch_first_hands_on'; Yep -- it looks just like its little brothers! Feels like 'em too, except the obvious bit of heft added by that 17-inch display. Of course, they don't have that sweet, gigantic battery inside, or that matte display option (until we torch Curpertino, of course... in love). Video after the break!

Update: Added another video. It'll be exciting, we promise!

Flektor, the slideshow creation tool that MySpace acquired in 2007, might be on the chopping block. A source close to the company tells us that employees were informed in a meeting today that Flektor is being dissolved as of this Friday.

The acquisition of Flektor made a lot of sense back at the peak of widget mania. MySpace was a huge outlet for posting widgets, and by acquiring Flektor, they’d also be a leading destination for creating them. At the time, we wrote: “[Flektor] allows everything from photo hosting, slideshow, video editing, web cam broadcasting (ala UStream), in-stream quizzes and polls as well as IM and media storage. For something that tries to be so much, they do fairly good job at it.”

Alas, in 2009, it’s all about identity management (MySpaceID) for third-party websites and in-house application platforms. Thus, as MySpace attempts to cut costs along with everyone else in the new media industry, eliminating Flektor wouldn’t be a huge surprise to us, though we’d expect the technology to still be used in some capacity, perhaps as integrated applications on MySpace (the company’s slideshow and poll apps can already be found there).

We’ve asked MySpace for comment and will update when we hear something.

Update (12:20PT): Another source confirms the rumor, noting that the changes are part of a broader plan to integrate Flektor technology on MySpace. Additionally, the source says that “most” employees will still have jobs with the company.
