   Interestingly, they really, really don't want you to disable your friends    
   from being able to check you into places now.  The instructions said I'd find    
   a pulldown right next to that feature allowing me to disable it.  Not so    
   anymore.  Now you get an "edit settings" button next to it.  When you click    
   on that button, you get the pulldown menu.  So you click "disable," you "save    
   settings," and go back out to the previous level of privacy settings and...it    
   still only says "edit settings" next to that item, nothing to show that    
   you've changed/disabled it.  Why so cagey, I wonder?  A simple pulldown at    
   the item itself was good enough for other privacy preference items.
