I hate the quiz takers who invariably invite everyone they know to take a quiz.

But I'm about ready to drop Facebook from my list of visited sites. They've done one too many complete alterations to the interface.

I saw on the news they changed the webpage again. Is it that bad now?

I have never had any problems with their changes, but I also access from my iPhone more than he pc.

Only problems I've had is that from time to time I have to click on the news feed link at the top to get the page that normally was just default. Only happened once or twice though.

Now that the Facebook Purity script's been updated, it's not so bad. But they really should get rid of the new left sidebar and make everything collapsible.

Its an extension or add on or some shit that blocks out unwanted Facbook stuff (ads, games, etc) so all you really see is the actual updates.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #37 on:** Feb 09, 2010, 07:45:01 AM »

ohh... lol @ whoever had time to create said script.

Fiero · « **Reply #38 on:** Feb 09, 2010, 03:03:58 PM »

I have a feeling that the person that did it is probably the kind of guy that codes in his sleep.

Rama · « **Reply #39 on:** Feb 09, 2010, 03:10:02 PM »

Ok...now my facebook is completely different. Don't know why it took so long, but it is different.

Fiero · « **Reply #40 on:** Feb 09, 2010, 05:07:41 PM »

Yeah, I got it now two, twelve hours later. Its really not that bad. It really only changed a little bit.

Not a difficult thing to learn. :3 People bitch too much.

What? There is no bitching on the internet. Because there are no women on the internet.

Rama · « **Reply #43 on:** Feb 09, 2010, 10:58:02 PM »

Wait...no women on the internet? Then what about all these exciting singles that want to meet me/my credit card number?

Fiero · « **Reply #44 on:** Feb 10, 2010, 04:09:08 AM »

They are not women. Not really. Not where it counts.

Eh, they all look the same with the lights out.

Ok, I'm looking at it. Doesn't look so bad. I hated that little bar at the bottom, but that chat box is still there. Also, I have a huge amount of space at the bottom of the page. I don't like having to use a drop-down box to signout. That's all I've observed for now.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #47 on:** Feb 11, 2010, 08:28:03 AM »

I'm getting emails from people saying "OMG where are youuuuuu why dont you have a fb anymoreee, is the baby alright!?!!?!??!" FUCK. why are people so dependent on that goddamn webpageeeeee

B E C K · « **Reply #48 on:** Feb 11, 2010, 03:15:38 PM »

It's the new way of the world, I suppose.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #49 on:** Feb 11, 2010, 05:09:35 PM »

I long for the days when the only way to find out about someone was to actually talk with her/him, and the only way they could see your pics was if you personally showed it to them.
I think I was born during the wrong times. I mean we only have 2 years to live after all

B E C K · « **Reply #50 on:** Feb 11, 2010, 06:10:19 PM »

Lies!

I recall in the nineties that people would call me. It was like ancient Twittering or something. I hated it. Granted, I actually liked the people themselves, but I don't like being bothered. I almost wish I was born just a few years earlier. That way, I'm still young enough to take advantage of the new emerging tech but by the time Facebook and the such became popular, I was too old for it to be relevant.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #51 on:** Feb 12, 2010, 07:52:26 AM »

Well unfortunately Nuri now the old people are on facebook too, so you'd be still screwed. If I had to choose, I'd had liked to be born during the 1800's, then there's no chance facebook would have reached me, or cellphones. I hate when people call me, I rather just text them.

None of the old people I know, however. I dunno, I think dealing with Facebook now is much better than dealing with inadequate medical care, lack of widely available electricity, entertaiment, and communications, legalized slavery, the American Civil War, and the other deficiencies of the era.

It doesn't matter, I'd never friend them anyway and it wouldn't matter to them, I'll bet.

Man killed ex-lover over Facebook photo with new man.
from: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/london/8552740.stm

Quote

A woman was stabbed repeatedly by her ex-lover after he saw a picture of her with her new boyfriend on Facebook.

Paul Bristol, 25, was found guilty at the Old Bailey of murdering Camille Mathurasingh, 27, at her east London home in April 2009.

The IT technician, who lived in Trinidad and Tobago, flew to London within two weeks of seeing the picture and killed the accountant.

Bristol, who denied murder, is expected to be sentenced later this month.

The court heard he could not accept "it was over" and had come to "win" his girlfriend back.

Bristol, who worked for the Trinidad and Tobago Ministry of Administration, and Miss Mathurasingh met during the three years she worked for PricewaterhouseCoopers in Port of Spain, Trinidad.

'He looked evil'

After her return to London in 2008 their relationship continued through emails and telephone calls, but last year she began having doubts about their future and decided to go out with her new boyfriend.

Simon Denison QC, prosecuting, said: "It would appear she tried to bring about the end of her relationship with this defendant gently and did not tell him about her new boyfriend.

Bristol flew to London two weeks after seeing the Facebook picture
"He found out when he saw pictures of them together on Facebook.

"He would say he could not accept it was over and he decided to come here to see if he could win her back."

The day before her murder, she told her sister Nadine that she had to flee her home as Bristol had arrived from Trinidad, but she saw him following her.

Nadine said of the conversation: "She said she looked into her rear-view mirror. She said he looked evil."

Metropolitan Police said they caught Bristol when he fled on foot after a collision between his car and a black cab in east London.

When stopped he had blood over his face and clothes and admitted killing his girlfriend. He claimed he committed manslaughter through provocation.

Following the verdict, the victim's mother Indra Mathurasingh said: "Justice has been served for Camille. She was snatched from us and we are empty without her."

Lovely.

Nice way of winning her back, bro

Fiero · « **Reply #57 on:** Mar 08, 2010, 03:56:30 PM »

Perhaps he literally meant to win her heart, but could not discern how to remove it?

Derrick · « **Reply #58 on:** Mar 08, 2010, 05:01:58 PM »

You need some powet tools to do that properly, but then it's something you have to learn through mistakes.

B E C K · « **Reply #59 on:** Mar 08, 2010, 09:18:07 PM »

That's sad. And scary-ass. He went straight to London from fucking Trinidad to kill her. You know nothing short of witness protection program type shit was stopping that sicko.
