@Phrosty: Don't ever click through to Gawker. It'll make your brains leak out your ears.

@Alfisted: the joke's better than the point.

@Clashwerk: On the other hand, they all get naked on the beach. It's a complex cultural thing.

Woah! I disagree 100% with this. Why can't people make portrait videos? They make portrait photos! And with tablets, most devices people watch videos on will soon be rotatable.

This is kinda BS. MySpace is reinventing itself as a content platform, focusing of loads of music stuff that FB doesn't really do, right? So why not outsource the 'social network' part to FB? It's a white flag in terms of MySpace as a social network, but what this article ignores is that that isn't their strategy…

@Richard Servello: unless a way can be found of scrambling everything except 911.

@thecornyman: Don't suppose you've got any idea what I meant by 'notemail?' I bloody haven't

@Rav Casley Gera: Ignore me; looks like it's DMs as well.

So @mentions but not DMs? That's odd. I don't like getting DMs by SMS.

@joule79: It's actually 2 minutes 30, if we're being all factual and pedantic.

@Nieros: But i think the point is that those systems are still separate. So if someone emails you while you're online it's an email, not an IM. The idea of this is integration, so you get things as IM, message or SMS depending on what works for you at that moment.

@thecornyman: Yeah, go to facebook.com/username to grab your name if you haven't already, that'll be your notemail username when it launches.

@MightyE: Didn't they introduce some at the last big event?

Maybe I'm reading the thing too literally, but what if it's something really boring to do with calendars or photos? To help you 'never forget' stuff?

Meh. Facebook Groups.

I'd have use for something just like this, but with really long extendable rails, so you could raise the screen all the way to eye level. I assume it hasn't happened for sturdiness reasons.

@Dinosaur!: I actually think the opposite. If they knew they were getting the 3G version, they wouldn't make such a borderline deceptively OTT ad for the WiFi version.

It's about bloody time, really. Especially now they don't make those ads that fetishise the headphone cable any more.

I also have a prediction: as time goes by and Apple fails to produce a touchscreen laptop of any kind, Jesus' attempts to turn every Jobs utterance into evidence for his theory will get more and more ridiculous.

@MadCatMU: Right. And Apple have done very well out of not allowing users to do things they won't enjoy doing, so they can't associate the equipment with bad experiences, even self-imposed ones.
