How on earth could you possibly know that?
Because the only person who defended Forstall 100% was Steve Jobs. Both loved Skeuomorph to who knows who. When Jobs died, Scott lost only person who defended him, and hence he was fired.
Got a tip for us?

Even if Apple is "in talks" with Facebook, this would never happen for at least a year.
Apple is the kind of company to sit back and see how well something does before giving it a try (USB3, LTE, ect), or never using it (BluRay, RFID)
And seeing how 'well' Facebook home is doing, i'd give it another 2 months before it becomes junk.
Yes, people like to be connected. But I think people are coming to the conclusion that there is a fine line between constantly connected, and straight up addicted. And Facebook Home is the first step to admitting you have a problem.

You do realize the newsfeed on YOUR Facebook page is chosen by you. The people that YOU have given permission to post on YOUR newsfeed.
Maybe you should be looking a little closer to the Friends YOU CHOOSE to Like and let post on YOUR Newsfeed if you don't like it/them then unfriend them.
You're bitching about something you chose to participate in and chose who can post to your Facebook page. Seems you're more the problem than Facebook itself.
Just a thought...
Steve Jobs might have agree ousting Forstall. He might know it all along that Forstall has attitude problems ( a cancer to the company ) but his really indebted to him because Forstall is with Steve Jobs since NeXT (Steve's company before acquired by Apple). He might discuss it with Tim Cook before he died.
Agreed. Not everyone is a 17 year old checking Facebook every minute to see if her duck lips bathroom mirror picture was liked. Not sure I want my entire phone experience over Facebook.
1. I seriously doubt it will happen. Apple is very closed and controls the UI tightly unlike Android.
2. No one will force you to install/use it if it were made available. It would be an option.

Related but unrelated
Several people have commented that Apple won't give up it's springboard.
Years ago, the Nike+ App allowed you to see what you were listening to, how far you went, pace, etc, all from the lock screen. It was great, and you could also use your finger to swipe to the next song.
You haven't been able to do that in a while, nor will RunKeeper do that.
Is this related at all? Why can't developers do that anymore? Now you have to slide, unlock, wait for the app...it's a real pain.
I'd love to know why.

No. Their new "suggestion feeds" are shoved down your throat whether or not you liked them or fanned the pages. They actually gather information about all your posts and friend posts and target you for specific ad-based posts/suggestions as they call it.
When the Titanic went down it was due to sinking.
When Facebook goes down it will due to stinking.

**** that. Don't want Zuck's crappy looking software on my phone.

I'm not the problem. Maybe I don't babysit my friends list and police it but i highly doubt such useless info is unique to me. plus, these posts by friends, etc evolve over time.
But being disrespectful to me as another human being is hardly solving the problem. So maybe you're the problem. Your nastiness is completely unnecessary.
They do, they can go buy an Android phone.
And for those kinds of people who just have to know what every one is doing 24/7 and just have to know what the Kardashians are up to, they are far better off with a Barbie phone
