Why does Apple want my credit card info for free apps?

Q. I just bought a new iPhone and am trying to add FREE apps (Facebook), but it asks for verification to make payment. What am I doing wrong?

A. Usually this is a feature that was provided by Apple, that if you had your CC details already entered once, everytime you purchased Apps, you would need not spend a long time entering the same information over and over again. Therefore, they asked this when you created your Apple ID.

However, realizing that they have clients not that are not old enough to have a CC, Apple has introduced a "None" option in the Credit Card screen when you make an Apple ID

Check it out.

Apps on facebook that tell people if you view their profile?
Q. Do those apps on facebook really tell people when you visit their profile? Because I visit some peoples' page frequently and it may seem creepy. These apps don't really seem to make sense if they intend for people to keep using facebook.

A. I really dont think so. Or else I would have a lot of notifications from all those apps i joined.

Do any of those find out who's viewing your facebook profile apps work?
Q. It showed up my wall today and looked pretty legit. Even had the facebook logo and and an apps.facebook address. I'm skeptical. What's the story on these official looking apps?

A. No. There is no way to know who views a Facebook page. Facebook does not have this option due to privacy concerns. Some people are under the impression that the "top friends" that display on the profile/timeline are the people who have viewed your profile, but this is not true.

If you were wondering why those certain people are showing on your profile and not other people, facebook has already explained this. Those are merely the people you have interacted with the most.

Here's additional info which I quote:

"There are scams aplenty promising to show you who is 'stalking' your Facebook page. I put in a call to Facebook and spoke with their technical folks, the truth is, NO ONE can see who's been on your Facebook page. There are no features buried in the Facebook settings with that data. There are no apps that can unearth that info. Facebook says it is one of the most common scam come-ons on the site. Don't fall for it; you cannot see who's looking at your profile (and no one can see if you've been looking at theirs)."
