Facebook Inc (FB) Wants to Put Your Pix in Cold Storage

Facebook gets much of its flash memory from Fusion-IO, Inc. (NYSE:FIO), where it accounts for more than a third of the memory maker’s total revenues, and it was buying up a lot more of its flash in the fiscal fourth quarter than Fusion-IO, Inc. (NYSE:FIO) had anticipated. While the current quarter is going to see a bit of a drop-off in demand from Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB), the flash-memory maker expects to be able to keep the strong relationship going in the future. Whether it will be the one making the “worst possible flash” remains to be seen.

I recently closed my Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) account after revelations of its cozy relationship with the government on compromising the privacy of its users. I’m also looking at ways to minimize my exposure to other companies that also have low regard for user privacy (I’m looking specifically at you, Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG)), and Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) swears that once a user deletes his data, it vanishes from everywhere on its servers.

Hopefully that’s the case, and since I can’t even remember what pictures of drunken debauchery I posted and have long since forgotten, maybe even the NSA won’t be able to pull them up, either.
