Only, I see behind facebook's application, there are a big corrupt because some applications don't get correctly "you see that to the different application's games"! I hate that because I want just to play different game not playing for being star with, lol!!! Sure, some people use and exploit the informations of the others and buy them. Some others add to exists applications your informations and tell that it's the application from facebook and sure they will sell with a new system the application in saying for example Mozart had some others articles never edited so many people interested on it!

Except if anyone use my pictures, I'm FURIOUS!!!! I would want earning money with the correct way! Working-Money not Playing-Money!
