Thumbs down! Firefox users can now "dislike" posts on Facebook
It sounds kind of silly to keep track of your own dislikes, but it turns out that the extension feeds them into a database, so they'll be visible to anyone else who has it installed. The dislikes blend in seamlessly with the Facebook News Feed, appearing right below regular likes. It looks as if the members of those pro-dislike Facebook groups should be downloading Firefox and checking this extension out.

Believe it or not, Atari have just released a bunch of old games on their own website. These aren't clones, these aren't even 'loving interpretations' -- these are the real thing, remade by Atari themselves. This comes as part of a re-launch for the Atari website which includes an online store.
I warn you, if you read on, this might turn into more than just a mere ten-minute time-waster.

There's a pretty straightforward way Facebook could implement "dislikes" without making a mess of things.
Just have an extra option with your status update to identify it as "positive", "negative", or "neutral" (with the default still being positive, of course). If positive, only a "like" option appears. If negative, only a "dislike" option appears. And if neutral, neither options appear.
This way, in addition to getting an "unlike" option, you would also be able to avoid people liking updates about something bad happening.
Might mess things up for the API though, I guess...
