   Sounds like the job of a junior-level developer at Facebook, without the product management oversight of the feature. Whoopsie.

   I think a Muting API is just demonstrative but probably over-kill. Needing a muting API across apps is a clear symptom of over-using technology for the sake of it. Sure, it makes your "life" "easier", but really, how hard are our lives righ

    Actually, there is a good chance that this is temporary. I imagine they took some base stable version of android, and built their services platform on top of that. They have their own ridiculously huge Web Services platform that they want t
