A couple of things re. LJ.
There is already a Greasemonkey script that'll get rid of the ugly new buttons.

And re. the pingback thing, then this is what they say (I bolded the important part):
In response to popular demand, we've brought back pingbacks! For those who are new to this feature, pingbacks let you know when someone has linked to a LiveJournal entry you've posted. It also notifies another user if you link to one of their posts. To ensure your privacy, pingbacks ONLY work on public posts when both users have enabled this feature.
A few things to keep in mind:
* If you've never used this feature, the default will be set to open (i.e., on).
* If you formerly disabled pingbacks, it will remain off.
* The "ping" will appear as a screened comment on the original post in the journal or community.
* To update your pingback settings, please visit your Account Settings/Privacy page.
~~~~
As far as I can see, the only problem there is that it's automatically enabled. Otherwise they've done OK.
