"We understand that some people are unhappy or
concerned about the recent changes to Facebook.
Your feedback is welcome and appreciated because our
goal is to make a website that is in line with our
users' expectations. As we consider future changes
and modifications, we will certainly keep everyone's
opinions in mind. We think, however, that once you
become familiar with the new layout and features,
you will find these changes just as useful as past
improvements such as Photos, Groups, and the Wall.
We introduced News Feed and Mini-Feed because we
wanted to make it easier than ever before to see
interesting, relevant pieces of information from the
world around you. News Feed automatically generates
the most recent news stories about your friends so
that you have a resource available to guide your
movement throughout the site. Mini-Feed allows you
to quickly and easily see the latest developments in
the lives of people whose profiles you choose to
visit.
What is important to remember with all of these
features is that we are not allowing anyone to see
anything that they wouldn't normally be allowed to
see. For example, if you join a secret group, any
friends that are not members will not receive a News
Feed story about this action. Similarly, when they
look at your Mini-Feed, they will not be able to see
a story about you joining the group. The settings
that are established on the My Privacy page and the
settings that apply to Photo albums, Notes, Groups,
Events, etc. dictate the stories that are displayed
in News Feed and Mini-Feed. Although there is no
option to completely turn off Mini-Feed, all users
have the option to hide individual stories. If you
select the 'X' button to the right of any of your
own stories, that content will no longer be visible
to anyone viewing your Mini-Feed. Facebook prides
itself in giving users complete control over the
information that they share with others. Let us
know if you have any questions about the privacy
settings that we offer.
Thanks for using Facebook!"
So MAYBE you could convince me that this would sound marginally better than a 10.1 setup if it was set up properly... But is the average person going to be able to setup the 13 speakers correctly so that they actually get the effect?
actually, compression makes a disk faster believe it or not. 99% of the time a users CPU can decompress faster than the optical drive can read, if I have my facts straight.
I'll second that... I bought a 20 dollar data cable JUST so I could get the perfect version onto my phone.
It brings a smile to the face of geeks and non-geeks alike...
People who wonder why the project doesn't focus on improving Firefox are missing the point that K-Meleon was around waaaaay before Firefox, when Mozilla still took a really long time to even load.
Even so, can't they develop a little faster? I remember 0.8 was realeased years ago... thought they would at least be at 1.0 by now.

Third party applications are really the only solution to this problem, here's one I used a while back: http://www.tealpoint.com/softmovr.htm
