"Say Cheeeese"

The Story(Fox Sports):  According to reports, a man claimed he was injured during an exchange with Bryant at Sunday mass after the Lakers guard thought he spotted the man taking pictures of him on his cell phone. 

The alleged incident occurred at St. Therese of Carmel Valley Church in San Diego, when Bryant allegedly grabbed the man's wrist and snatched the cell phone. He reportedly gave back the phone after seeing no pictures had been taken of him or his wife.  "We're attempting to interview all the [participants]," a San Diego police spokesman told the Times.  The man, who has not been identified, claimed he had to go to a hospital for treatment on his wrist.

Random funny pic i found on google!

The Analysis:  I get it.  What's the first thing you see at a concert or the first sighting of someone who is relevant in main stream pop culture...folks taking out their phones to take a picture.  The dude deserves some privacy but then again forget privacy...that picture would have sold for a couple hundred.  I wouldn't have done it because I value privacy...but that's just me.
Should Kobe have snatched the dude phone..."ya damn right."  Should Kobe have snatched the dude's wrist..."NAW!"

He might want to consider just buying his own church...#just saying!

Facebook Faces Down Phone Number Rumors

From the Washinton Post

By Hayley Tsukayama


Facebook says that they don’t publicly publish phone numbers. A message making the rounds on Facebook has prompted several users to raise the alarm about Facebook supposedly publishing the phone numbers of your contacts.

Facebook does list phone numbers that your friends have shared in the list of your contacts, and has listed that information in users’ private views of Facebook since launching Phonebook a few years ago. If you’ve synced your phone with Facebook, those contacts will appear as well.

Addressing the rumors, Facebook put up the following statement on the company’s page.

Rumors claiming that your phone contacts are visible to everyone on Facebook are false. Our Contacts list, formerly called Phonebook, has existed for a long time. The phone numbers listed there were either added by your friends themselves and made visible to you, or you have previously synced your phone contacts with Facebook. Just like on your phone, only you can see these numbers.

Facebook provides a link to let you remove the mobile contacts that it has synced from your phone, though your account will still display any numbers your friends have provided on their accounts. The site also gives instructions on how to stop syncing your iPhone with your account. To do that, head to the Friends icon in the main menu and you’ll see your Sync setting in the upper-right hand corner.

If you want to remove your phone number from Facebook, you can do so by heading to the “Edit Profile” link below your name and editing your contact information.
