Thor and The Avengers movies delayed.
As per the revised schedule, the release date of the multi-character superhero film 'The Avengers' has been extended by about a year to May 4, 2012, from July 15, 2011.
'Thor', the big-screen adaptation of one of Marvel's popular comic book characters, will now release on June 17, 2011, instead of July 16, 2010, the company said.
Facebook Blog - about the new Facebook look
Today, we are beginning to roll out the new home page. The update will happen slowly, so everyone should have the new home page over the coming days.
We think you'll find that the new home page makes it even easier for you to create content and receive real-time updates from the people and connections you have on Facebook. It also gives you even more control over who and what you see in your stream by offering new filters. Below are some of the features we're most excited about.
Changes to Facebook again
Initial Impressions
I'm apparently among the first to have the update. So how does it work?
It feels a lot more like Twitter. The whole page focuses around conversations, which isn't a bad thing at all (I'm noticing fewer items around photos and events)Items may be posted in real time, but it doesn't seem like the page updates as the items come in (I'm having to refresh to see new content)The Highlights section doesn't exactly do a great job at highlighting news stories. With only a narrow column to work with the stories don't stand out. And with so little real-estate, sponsored items (which are basically just ads) are more irritating.The ability to filter the News Feed by Friend Lists is great (I can't believe we've gone this long without it) You actually could filter by Friend Lists in the old version, though the feature was less visible. You can also 'x' out friends you never want to see appear in your News Feed again.
