did you start your browser before looking at your connection list?
However, you're on a window's box, so it wouldn't surprise me if they helpfully
started ie for you....
If you didn't start the browser you use to go to facebook (and its not ie), its
fairly interesting.

Hi,
I see that i have multiple TCP sessions established with facebook.
They come up even after i reboot my laptop and dont login to facebook!

Any idea why these connections are established (with facebook and
akamaitechnologies) and how i can kill them? Since my laptop has
several connections open with facebook, what kind of information is
flowing there?
I also wonder about the kind of servers facebook must be having to be
able to manage millions of TCP connections that must be terminating
there.
