FaceBook Redesign 
FaceBook is revamping its user interface. Few weeks back twitter did the same thing. FaceBook wants to give better look and feel to the users. This attempt will allow users to spend more time on the site. Here are the few changes that are going to be.
1. New version of chat and it will be now on the left side of the screen.
2. Profile pictures are added into the chat.
3. Profile pages will look like Places pages.
4. Apps are going to be moved below profile pictures as icons.
5. Profile navigation will reside in that area meaning no top tabs on profile pages.
MyTake: One can make out that the entire UI is going to be altered. However, for me it is like “Old wine with a new label” because FaceBook is just tweaking here and there. If you notice carefully they are not adding any NEW feature. So better FaceBook comes up with new ideas!
Zuckerburg And “Like” Button
The Hollywood movie “The Social Network” is doing well on the box office. I also liked the movie and I found a common thing about the FaceBook founder Mark Zuckerburg and the FaceBook’s “Like” button.
In the movie Zuckerburg was alleged for stealing the idea of FaceBook from twin brothers Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss just like Friendfeed claims that the “Like” button is actually there idea. That’s interesting.
MyTake: Whether it is twin brothers or Friendfeed merely conceiving an idea takes you nowhere unless you are able to implement the idea according to the real world. Therefore Zuckerburg is the winner.

Yesterday, location based mobile service Foursquare went down for 11 hours. At least 3 million users 
(including me) of Foursquare were affected with this downtime. The site crashed but the no data was lost. To learn more I visited the Foursquare blog and there they added more agony by giving technical arguments which are beyond our comprehension.

MyTake: 11 hours downtime is a long time and Foursquare has only 32 employees working. Then how would you expect that there response and communication will be good enough?

Apple Pays $600 million
East Texas federal court found Apple infringing three patents the Cover Flow, Time Machine and Spotlight. For this Apple has to pay about $625 million to the Mirror Worlds. Mirror Worlds alleged Apple saying “violations were found to be willful rather than unintentional”.
MyTake: $625 million is going to be the largest amount paid in US legal history. I think this will set a precedent for big companies like Apple not to bully small companies like Mirror Worlds.

Goggles Comes To iPhone
Like Android now iPhone users can utilize Google’s Goggles visual search feature as part of Google Mobile App. However feature works on version 4.0 of the iPhone’s operating system with iPhone4 (only models that have auto focusing cameras).
MyTake: Microsoft released visual search in its Bing iPhone application in June this year, and hence I wonder what Google was doing until now to launch Goggles to the iPhone.
