You have seen those Facebook updates that go “***** and ***** like if he/she tells these lies, 99% chance they are cheating on you.” and the like. If you go to the page and do as the page says, you will end up liking the page (automatically) and your friends will receive a “suggestion”. I [...]

GWT-Ext Store instances are all over my code. And I am populating them by various means.
