Most of you guys will be asking What is NewGenBook:Clique, Basically it's a better alternative than using the original facebook app & website! we've redesigned the original FB site from the ground up making it a unique and better experience but not taking away the enjoyment of surfing Facebook.

We already have several desktop apps for all major browsers - It is currently available for Google Chrome/, Firefox, Opera and Safari! & we are slowly expanding to other platforms such as iPhone, windows & Android.

Enjoy! & don't forget to like our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/newgenbook

to stay up to date & see more screenshots on the iphone and mac app development watch this thread and watch the dribbble page: Dribbble - Show and tell for designers or follow me on twitter: @jeayese

"Should" have been?

I can't agree - it wastes a lot of left-hand space. Facebook has a LOT of info to display.

Yes but that "info" can be access easily from rolling over the left area, watch the video to see what I mean.

Looks really good, although out of personal preference, I prefer block colours over say, gradients.

Cheers, We're going to make the colours customizable, solid or gradients you guys can pick ^_^

I did. Currently I don't need to roll-over anything though - so I see it as a negative step...

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
