Shit Apple fanatics say, part 1

A bit long, but still pretty funny.

Also, you might find these unrelated “shit says” videos funny if you’re from Miami like me.

Instagram safe for now

Mike Schroepfer of Facebook:

As we said from the beginning, we are committed to building and growing Instagram independently. Instagram will continue to serve its community, and we will help Instagram continue to grow by using Facebook’s strong engineering team and infrastructure. We also can’t wait to work with the talented Instagram team to improve the mobile experience.

So it looks like Facebook will not swallow Instagram, but instead let it continue to thrive.  This is probably a good move, no reason to piss off a bunch of Instagram users that are probably Facebook users already.  It’s pretty clear that Facebook really wanted to go after Instagram team for their talents in mobile, not buy more Facebook users.

AT&T and FaceTime

So AT&T responded in a blog post to the complaints about not allowing FaceTime over 3G (or 4G or whatever they want to call it now).

I wish I could actually like the big companies I spend my hard earned money on. Right now Apple is the only company that I feel good about what I get in return for my money. I feel like an abused spouse with AT&T.  The last thing that got me before this FaceTime issue was them dumping all the text plans in anticipation of iMessage. I know they are a business and need to make money, but the things they do just anger their clients.  I guess they can do it, since they know the only person I could switch to is Verizon and they are almost as bad as them.

So are they breaking the law over the FaceTime issue?
Maybe not.

Are they a bag of dicks?
Yup!

Facebook iOS app overhaul to be built by former Apple employees?

About a month ago New York Times Bits heard rumors that Facebook was working on a completely new, real iOS app. Not just an app pulling in HTML5 webpages through an app frontend. The rumor is now heating up, according to a report by Value Walk:

According to sources, Facebook Inc has hired a team of former Apple Inc. employees to completely redesign the Facebook iPhone app. These sources say, the app will get a “major code overhaul” rather than the normal update.

I was happy that Facebook was updating their app, but if this report is true, it’s even better than I thought. Who better to fix this broken app than former Apple employees?
