I think what Facebook are going for here makes a lot of sense. The home screen at the moment is a fork in the road with the choice of dozens of different app paths to take. What they're planning on doing is removing the extra step needed to

I think facebook are onto something saying that the home screen is the heart of the phone and that it currently presents the information the wrong way round. The home screen at the moment is very similar to how the first facebook app worked

You're completely right, it does require a deep knowledge of things like finite element analysis and the whole thing collapses in a heap if you don't carefully apply constraints and penalisation rules. But on the other hand, a title should
