        Facebook recently began testing a new homepage design that allows the News Feed to be scrolled separately from the rest of the page. This allows ads, app bookmarks, and the top navigation bar to remain visible regardless of what part of the News Feed you are looking at. Currently, once you scroll down past about six News Feed stories, you cannot see ads, bookmarks, nor the navigation bar.

        Facebook launched in 2004, and it took until 2010 to reach 500 million members. Thats very roughly the addition of 100 million users per year the site has existed, but thats not an accurate representation of how many people joined Facebook when. Obviously there were far more people joining in 2010 than in 2004 or even 2005.<br><br>TechCrunch speculates that Facebook might wait to deal out updated official numbers until it reaches one billion members, which would be a bit arrogant on Facebooks part - but that wouldnt be surprising either. Its also possible that Facebook could hand out an update at the next f8 Conference, which will likely take place later this<a href="http://ipadbagblog.com/"><font color="light&height"> ipad bag blog</font></a> of best <a href="http://www.sutudeg.org/"><font color="light&height">sutudeg community</font></a> the modern<a href="http://wposfv.com/"><font color="light&amp;height">education news</font></a> and country summer.

      @edward polling I'm afraid that even had Windows Mobile gone open source, there probably wouldn't have been that many OSS developers that would have jumped on board. And I believe that the state of MS's coding might simply have embarrassed it rather than helping.
