"At Facebook, we care about the experience we provide to people. How long Facebook takes to load is a contributing factor we look at to gauge user experience." Do they really need to talk like this on a tech blog?

Yes, UI latency is part of tech. * * I question how much FB cars about user experience given that Facebook looks and feels like a Linux window manager from 2003 but still latency is important.

    Point taken. I meant FVWM with a really bad launcher and gkrellm everywhere rather than a classy XFCE setup.

      "Freebooter" and "freebooting" mean "pirate" and "piracy", which is what I assume they're talking about: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/freebooter http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/freeboo...

Ditto. I cringed when i read this. It's like Boeing writing: "At Boeing we really care about building planes that can fly and be safe too." As a reader, I feel they think I am a little dumb.

Content from a massive company like Facebook will inevitably end up in the hands of aspiring journalists of all kinds. There is always a chance someone will sensationalize, distort, or outright mislead. You counter such unfortunate events by being overly scrupulous.
