Zuckerberg: Using HTML in our mobile apps was "one of the biggest mistakes we've ever made"; less sh - Polidicks

[url]http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/11/zuckerberg-html-5-facebook-mobile-app-mistake/[/url] [quote=Engadget]Remember the days before Facebook's iOS app ditched HTML 5 and sped things up with some native code? It turns out that there's some regret in Menlo Park about relying on the web markup language. Betting on HTML 5 for the app is "one of the biggest mistakes if not the biggest strategic mistakes we've ever made," Mark Zuckerberg said in an interview at TechCrunch Disrupt today. The firm's CEO also mentioned that new features will be making their way to the app and a snappier Android version is coming down the pike "when it's done."[/quote]

More like the biggest mistake that they will admit that is a mistake.

I can think of a bigger mistake [img]http://imgkk.com/i/81n-.png[/img]

I wonder who told them that would be a good idea?

[Quote]a snappier Android version is coming down the pike [b]"when it's done."[/b][/quote] ... Is that a Duke Nukem: Forever reference?

I solved this problem a long time ago. Close Facebook App, Uninstall Facebook App, Open Web Browser, Enter facebook.com into the address bar, hit okay.

Windows Phone app is the best facebook app around, just a little slow but nothing beats m.facebook.com

I love getting the "this webpage is unavailable" when you disable your mobile network sometimes

[QUOTE=Elecbullet;37637025]... Is that a Duke Nukem: Forever reference?[/QUOTE] yes elecbullet duke nukem forever spawned the phrase "it'll be done when it's done"

[QUOTE=smurfy;37634680]I can think of a bigger mistake [IMG]http://imgkk.com/i/81n-.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] How long will you people fail to understand that Facebook [I]only[/I] gained by releasing these overvalued stocks, and their drop means absolutely nothing for them?

That's okay Zuckerberg. Just make the Android app actually good and all's forgiven.

Am i the only one who never has probelms with the app?
