Facebook now has a page describing their advertising. I’d not realised quite how underhand they are being with their advertising schemes.

It starts:

From the beginning, the people who built Facebook wanted it to be free for everyone. It now costs over a billion dollars a year to run Facebook, and delivering ads is how Facebook pays for this.

Translation: “we need to make money using you guys somehow, cheapskates”.

Facebook does not sell your personal information. Instead, Facebook makes its money from showing you ads.

iPhones vs. the Police

“Don’t treat me like an idiot,” a young man in a black parka said to a police officer in Zuccotti Park, on the evening of the day after the police had cleared it. The officer, identified by the yellow letters on his jacket as a member of the N.Y.P.D.’s community-affairs team, was telling people that it wasn’t safe to sit on the ledge of a granite planter, but the young man didn’t want to get down. “I can’t believe you’re saying this to me in the United States of America,” the young man continued. The risk seemed minimal, and he believed he had the right to take it.

Divided 1.2 has been approved for sale on the App Store. It’s a tiny bug fix release, so no need to rush to download!

Divided 1.1 is now available, with a new, more fun user interface and several bug fixes. I can assure you it’s just a pleasure to use.

However, a bug crept in as a gradient drawing routine differs in behaviour between iOS 4.3 and 5. Pah! So I submitted 1.2 today, and it will hopefully be approved quickly.

I submitted Divided 1.1 to the App Store. It’s a short list of changes:

	- Updated UI. It's more logical and streamlined. I've also spent time giving the UI a more physical feel (see [this post](http://www.dx13.co.uk/articles/2011/12/02/Adding-motion-to-improve-UI.html) for more info).
	- Squashed the bugs pointed out in my reviews, along with a few others.

I’m very pleased with the UI changes, though as always there are things I still feel I can improve further. Hopefully it’ll be approved quickly and with you soon!
