Well Facebook users, you've got about 30 sec- ...oh, wait, never mind....you missed your chance to cast your votes before the new or the old or the newly old or whatever Terms of Service are being cast in digital stone and will become virtually permanent on the site.

Do you care? Did you vote? Or is online apathy as big a problem as it is in the real world?

Perhaps Zuckerberg should just embrace his nerd-boy-turned-totalitarian aims, tell everyone what's happening, not let anyone vote on anything ever, and just be done with it already.

It's not like anyone's loving the new Facebook these days — cuz it's not like anyone can even keep track the version of the 'new Facebook' they were supposed to be voting on in the first place.

To those who forgot to vote, we salute you.

Sing it now:

"Pwned again / just can't wait to get back online again / Facebook owns my content / and all of my friends / I just can't wait to get pwned again..."

Would-be voters need to sign into Facebook and make a choice before 11:59 AM California time. An independent auditor will take over at that point to tally things up.

Facebook's own statistics suggest that around 589,000 people have voiced their opinions so far. Those individuals support the proposed, user-sourced documents by an almost overwhelming margin, 74.48 percent to 25.52 percent.
