Blackberry Playbook error using AIR StageWebView

Here was a crazy error on the latest Blackberry Playbook simulator (0.9.3). If you reference a non-existent file or image, it throws this error:

Error #2044: Unhandled ErrorEvent:. text=Couldn't read a file:// file

It was no fun trying to figure out where this bug was coming from! :-(

Facebook Places throws oAuth error: "The table you requested does not exist"

Just did a great workshop with Conrad Fuhrman who demonstrated his ARTi application, an augmented reality app build with Titanium. It also uses a new Titanium Facebook module that allows you to connect to Facebook using oAuth. However, when I tried to run the code sample I kept getting this oAuth error:

entries =>
{contents = "type"} = {contents = "OAuthException"}
{contents = "message"} = {contents = "(#603) The table you requested does not exist"}
}
}

After a google search this post turned up which explained it all. It turns out that Facebook Places does not work outside of the US, and since I was trying to access it from Barbados, it was failing.
