Being sued is not the same as being illegal. Let's wait for the ruling first.

Facebook's new iOS app is not fully native. Not even a mostly. http://jairaj.org/2012/08/27/facebook-for-ios.html http://jairaj.org/2012/08/27/facebook-for-ios.html

  The News Feed and Messages are what users spend the overwhelming majority of their time with and they are both rendered natively now.

    If I remember correctly, Messages were already native. The news feed was the only major change. But yes, I'm not saying that their app is fully HTML5. I'm saying that HTML5 still has a major role in their app.

      Messages in the main app weren't native until the latest update. I guess I disagree and see HTML5 as taking a much lesser role for them.

A lawsuit is not an indication of lawbreaking.

Except the NY Supreme Court upheld the legality of GrooveShark two months ago. Get your facts straight: http://blog.grooveshark.com/post/27150025910/ny-supreme-court-upholds-grooveshark-legality http://blog.grooveshark.com/post/27150025910/ny-supreme-cour...

I say enjoy Grooveshark while you can. As that article states they couldn't or may have not wanted to pay the cost for streaming EMI's music. Heck there is a ton more money to be made when your not paying the content owners who without their content there would be no Grooveshark. THe masses would care less for it. In 2012 I am surprised a court ruled in their favor as with Youtube it's focus wasn't just popular music, same goes for justin.tv. THough with Grooveshark their M.O. is access to popular music and now you can get all the music you want for free whenever you want through your mobile device. I wonder how much longer it will last? Megaupload anyone? Well i'm going to cancel my Spotify subscription and use this instead!

  Edit: I tried using Grooveshark's html5 web app the last few days. I thought I might be able to cancel Spotify in which I use everytime I drive (few times a day). Using Grooveshark's web app in the car is NO REPLACEMENT for Spotify, as a playlist doesn't play contiguously and if it does there is a one to two minute delay between each track. Other times between tracks while driving I've had to fidget with the play/pause button to start tracks. Spotify is the clear winner and I'm happy paying subscriber!

> Facebook moving toward native: Go to facebook.com on your mobile phone. When that stops working / being developed you can say they are moving away from html5.

Facebook's website works better on my phone than their app does.
