In the first couple of days since Facebook released their Android application to the market, I’ve being reading some reviews and receiving some tweets with people complaining about the app. Almost all the complaints were comparing the application to the iPhone version. Is it fair to compare the two?
Ok my point here fellow Android users: When did the Facebook app for the iPhone came out and how many updates have we seen so far? Try to take these things into consideration before making any complaints.
This is a brand new, 1.0 version of the app and it has really impressed me. I owned a 1st-gen iPhone and tried the Facebook app when it came out. In my opinion, the Android app is way better.
Knowing both Facebook and the Android community, I expect major updates over the coming weeks and months to push our application to the next level – possibly even more features than the iPhone. All we need is just a little patience.

“Tanker 979″ pressed into service by deadly fires in Southern California
The biggest fire-fighting jet on the planet started duty Monday combating the deadly fires around Los Angeles. It is a converted Boeing 747, dubbed Tanker 979.
If it performs as well as expected over the next few days, it could not only mean less destruction of buildings and lives, but big business for the plane’s owner, McMinnville, Oregon-based Evergreen International Aviation.
Fighting fires from helicopters and planes is not new, but nothing comes close to the fire-snuffing capacity of this former freight jet.
After a design and conversion process that cost $50 million, according to the private company’s chairman Timothy Wahlberg, the supertanker can spray 20,000 gallons of flame retardant from four-16-inch nozzles mounted on the fuselage in a pattern that amounts to a rain shower the width of a football field and three miles long.
To put that in perspective, a converted DC-10 that was used to fight fires in California a few years back had about half the capacity, and the typical fire-fighting plane used in forest fires, the P-3 Orion (developed in the ‘60s by the U.S. Navy for ship and submarine reconnaissance), has a capacity of about 3,000 gallons.
