Does anyone agree? I just got on on there, which I don't do frequently... All I saw were things that people liked and shared... No status updates. I mainly used it to keep up with people who lived far away. Ever since the introduction of the Share button it's gone downhill.. I'm finally giving in and trying Google+.
Yea I used to be on fb all the time but not any more. Like you said too retarded.

LOL, I just went to sign in for the hell of it, and it's completely changed again. You have to go through a whole new sign up process even after signing in with your old account then choose if you are a 'type' of entertainer(musician, comedian etc..) or a fan. Then import things from your old account. Except since noone uses it anymore, you can't import any old friends, can't import your pics..pretty much only entertainers who you friended that also ported over their account.
It's set-up COMPLETELY different, the whole page layout is confusing. Everything is side scrolling.
Edit:There is a reason why noone uses side-scrolling in large web applications, I guess Myspace didn't get the memo.

Because the mobile site loads in about 1/10 the time, is infinitely easier to navigate, and doesn't have huge Flash panels.

On my phone, the mobile site is the same as it's been for the past year or two.
Like someone said earlier, it switches back and forth. It's been doing this to me for well around a year or so now. I check the site probably four to five times a day... Kind of annoying once you get used to the newer layout. (Not really new though...)
Still prefer Yahoo! News.

Yeah and it's HORRIBLE. I had a date with a really cute girl who just so happened to be the daughter of one of my colleagues, and I was texting my buddy about her, she got one of my texts to him and cancelled the date on me. To make matters worse, she told her dad and he made a comment to me about it. Now, I'm always nervous about sending private texts to people for fear that they are going to go to someone else. It is completely inexcusable and needs to be addressed IMMEDIATELY.
Both issues are "inexcusable"
Although I will tell you that I've NEVER had the issue with ANY SMS program besides the stock one.
I've had consistent SMS issues with CM6. I really hope Gingerbread will have fixed these issues, but I have to doubt it.

Has anybody even experienced the SMS bug? Only 1.5% of users are experiencing this which equates to approximately 4,500. This is stemming from the daily 250,000 android activations so the bug is not THAT big of a deal. I think the press is the only reason Google hyped up it's urgency level. I don't even think it's a bug. I've noticed with a lot of android phones if you switch persons too quick in your messaging apps it picks the wrong person, which you wont notice and is where the whole sending to the wrong person goes.

Wouldn't discount its a "bug" but I also think its starting to get blown out of proportion. All of a sudden everyone has had an experience with a random girl and their boss / work colleague something dirty. Hah I don't doubt that its real, but the length at which this was "around" and now all if a sudden **** is raining hell fire. Don't discount its validity but maybe its severity. Clearly it isn't happening to everyone. And clearly it has become troll fodder. Everyone now has a "story" that sounds strangely similar .... :suspiciouseyes

knowing your phone is rooted, for support purposes, is not the same as having access to your personal data. at all.
can't expect to have your car fixed without opening the hood, ya know?
and this is the risk we take when rooting, not getting "official" support.
Full e-mail log or it didn't happen.
No offense to OP, but I don't think anyone should take his word until there's proof.
No biggy, the app is RootExplorer. Its just associated with the wrong email account. I figured this out myself and they said that there currently is no way of changing the associated account with a particular purchase...so if you buy it with the wrong account you are out of luck.
He did say they are 'seriously' looking at add the ability to move an app to another account.

It could be as simple as the fact that you have downloaded multiple root only apps. It's kind of a giveaway.
I'm surprised that you're surprised by the fact that Google knows your business. If you take a look at the permissions for the apps that come installed on the Evo stock, you'll find that they all have every permission out there... or almost.

odd that RIM is dropping so much. No, wait, I just turned in my work BB and use my personal EVO for work too. Work email / calendar and contacts take up such an insignificant part of a phone now it's no wonder RIM is tanking when their entire platform is built off connecting to an enterprise server for three, minute operations.
It looks like they may be moving away from the BES with the QNX OS.
I know, rumour and conjecture, but they say a picture speaks a thousand words.

Man I rocked so many Blackberries back in the day it's not even funny, seemed like every phone I owned for a while or upgraded to was another version of the BB. I can't really say bad things about RIM because their phone treated me better than any in the past, up until the Evo hit the shelves... I'm not at all surprised Android is on top of the charts, just about everyone I see now a days is on a Droid! Like the commercial says, "Droid Does!" & "Apple wishes it DID".
If you don't know what this thing is, a short summary is basically:
The LiveView is a watch that gets information from your phone and displays them on its screen when you're either 1. Too lazy 2. Too busy
to pull our your phone.
I KNOW that this watch has its bluetooth problems and is very irritating at times
(I own one myself)
But I think $25 at least warrants a look in its direction.
