Can't agree enough. iOS 7 is the make it or break it decision for me.


When you're logged into Jonny Wonny and you're scrolling down your News Feed, how come a post from VICE is there (3:19 & 3:16)? You had to like VICE in order for it to appear in News Feed. So your whole argument is false.

A friend could have liked a brand years ago and it could just be showing in your News Feed now, it doesn't have to show based on when they liked it.


The point the OP is trying to make is not the liking of VICE – the "Johnny Wonny" account legitimately liked VICE, but did not like the POST that VICE chose to "sponsor" and show to other users as if he had liked it. It becomes disingenuous when Facebook doesn't inform the user that they are posting a specific article/post on the users behalf, to all his friends.


It's pretty obvious, at least to me, that the person liked just the brand, and that the brand is just advertising a post below the like. I would think it would say "Johnny Wonny liked VICE's post" if the user liked the post.


Correct, but this isn't obvious to everyone. This UI design seems purposefully chosen by Facebook to look as if the user has liked the post as well as the brand page.


Time Machine, Time Capsule... Same thing http://www.apple.com/timecapsule/


Makes sense to me... I'm still speculating if Apple will announce the smaller iPad along with the new iPhone. It makes sense in some aspects, but you would think they would announce it when they annually announce a new iPad (Q1).


Or you could just download TunnelBear http://www.tunnelbear.com, set it to UK, and go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/tv/bbc_one_london/watchlive

Why go through all that trouble?
