Clearly you have Poor friends if they upload food to FB instead of Instagram.
I can confirm this, guys! Just trying it out now.
Now I can see photos of all my friends' food 3 times quicker! I'm so happy.

Yeah both kind of sound weird. But it's the same as simple (simpler, simplest vs more simple, most simple).
Am I the only one who doesn't understand why they couldn't get it to work well using HTML5 for the layout? I've done some work building web apps that masquerade as native apps and my guess is they just had a rat's nest of code going on.
As long as I start from scratch without using some template or library I've been able to use CSS3, JS, and HTML5 to do things way more visually impressive (than the old FB app) without the iPhone or iPad dropping a frame. To be fair, they have to deal with thousands of times more db queries, etc., but this isn't directly tied to scrolling responsiveness, crashes, and lock-ups.
[EDIT] Not my own work, but here's an example of a modern web app that's more responsive than the old FB app: http://pattern.dk/sun/ [/EDIT]

Requires iOS 4,3 or above. So those with an iphone 3G still have to joy of ignoring facebook on a daily, mobile basis.
... and this is a good thing - facebook started out ok, but is clearly becoming a scam, one inch away from shamelessly selling users privacy. Case in point: http://www.webpronews.com/facebooks-sponsored-stories-settlement-denied-2012-08
Mark my words: facebook, more sooner than later, will end up in tears for everyone... except, of course, for Mr. Zuckerjerk and a few early stock dumpers. Better opt out of it before they really screw it up.

nope. not that I can tell anyways. they'll get around to it after they're finished rolling around on their razr scooters, and being creative geniuses. #babysteps
There's nothing poor about it. It is a perfectly acceptable word and has been used by authors such as Jane Austen, Mark Twain, Henry James etc.
<b>THIS!!</b>why no ability to share somebody's else shared item? easy on desktop...impossible on mobile.
yeah thats why we just scored more medals than any other country in the Olympics and landed a rover on Mars. Yup we are fat and stupid
hmm... this'll be off topic, but how did you do that? i thought you needed to back up shsh blobs or whatever to downgrade?
Welcome to my World. First generation iPod touch, stuck on iOS 3.1.3 forever.
P.S.: any comment about upgrading better be accompanied by a check to pay for a new iPod touch.
We shouldn't skirt the importance of advertising money in this release. Facebook has been having trouble generating substantial advertising revenue on the mobile platform, making a redesign more urgent. I'm curious as to how they've changed their application in order to help garner more income for the company and stockholders.
I guess this is it? Seems like some sort of sponsored links? Never saw them in the old app.

Seems to retain your choice
I changed it from Top Stories to Most Recent. Killed the app (double-click Home button), restarted, and clicked Sort - still on Most Recent.
Not it doesn't. You can see it now. If you have iOS 5, then you can see the twitter integration. Facebook integration in iOS 6 is EXACTLY the same. You opt in to have it.
So how do you get that banner to tap to see more stories instead of having to refresh?
It pops up when you have a new story. You don't do anything to get it.
