At any rate, as I skimmed my Twitter feed and various news blogs, I couldn't help but notice a huge volume of people whining, moaning and groaning about the new Facebook redesign. So I visited my Facebook account — something I try to avoid — to see what everyone was complaining about.

It looks almost exactly the same. Sure, Mark and his pals have made a few adjustments to the placement of controls and to the application's design. But nothing looks so completely different that I can even begin to imagine why people feel obliged to rant and rave about the new look.

If anything, this supports my thesis that most normal computer users would prefer a computing appliance, such as the iPad, to a full-blown general purpose computer.
