What's 10mb to Facebook? Nothing. Consider that 8.6million photos are uploaded to Facebook every day, each of about 1mb, 10mb really is nothing to them.<br /> <br /> What's change if change is unwanted?

On why they can't keep both versions running, there is no reason why they can't – at best, it'll be a few CSS files that need keeping, which, let's be honest, take up less than 1mb each. What's 10mb to Facebook? Nothing. Consider that 8.6million photos are uploaded to Facebook every day, each of about 1mb, 10mb really is nothing to them.

What's change if change is unwanted?

"But they're smart guys. Why couldn't they figure out to make both designs compatible and let those that want to stay with the old design do that?""<br /> <br /> I agree completely! They're clearly smart enough to have designed the whole thing...yet they claim they can't maintain both versions?! Wow, what complete imbeciles. Nobody can see what they would lose if they'd provide both options, and nobody understands why they won't leave it alone period. It's a crummy, crummy "design" which looks like a child created it (no offense to children).<br /> “He kept telling me it was to make it 'more user friendly.’” he told the BBC. “But they're smart guys.

The people that are complaining represent a 1/4 of the facebook users... so, apparently the majority should adhere to the wants of the few? Sound like liberals to me.
