This news was announced over the developers Twitter where he shares that it is time for something new (possibly the Android?) and is handing the Facebook app over to another developer.

Here is what Joe said to TechCrunch about why he has quit saying that it is entirely Apple’s review process that caused him to quit:

My decision to stop iPhone development has had everything to do with Apple’s policies. I respect their right to manage their platform however they want, however I am philosophically opposed to the existence of their review process. I am very concerned that they are setting a horrible precedent for other software platforms, and soon gatekeepers will start infesting the lives of every software developer.

The web is still unrestricted and free, and so I am returning to my roots as a web developer. In the long term, I would like to be able to say that I helped to make the web the best mobile platform available, rather than being part of the transition to a world where every developer must go through a middleman to get their software in the hands of users.

This is the first off what I believe will be a revolution against Apple extremely strict policies when it comes to accepting apps into the AppStore. Take for example the story of Roque Amoeba who took 3 and a half months and 3 regections to finally get his app on the AppStore. However he says the process is much to harduous and is also leaving the iPhone.

In the future, we hope that developers will be allowed to ship software without needing Apple’s approval at all, the same way we do on Mac OS X. We hope the App Store will get better, review times will be shorter, reviews will be more intelligent, and that we can all focus on making great software. Right now, however, the platform is a mess.

The chorus of disenchanted developers is growing and we’re adding our voices as well. Rogue Amoeba no longer has any plans for additional iPhone applications, and updates to our existing iPhone applications will likely be rare. The iPhone platform had great promise, but that promise is not enough, so we’re focusing on the Mac.

I think Apple need to change. Kevin Rose, founder of Digg.com, had a great idea for Apple in my opinion.

He thought that Apple should approve every app and host it on the AppStore making all developers able to sell their apps BUT developers can buy a small extra fee to get their app ‘Certified by Apple’. Much like on computers, users can then decided to trust the app or not.

What do you think? Are you a developers who’s in distress? Share you stories.

Developer have found a way to add a dislike button to Facebook unofficially using a Firefox plugin called ‘Facebook Dislike Button’.

It may not be perfect as  only users who have the Dislike plugin installed on their Firefox browser can see the ‘dislike’ but if everyone starts using it it will work so SPREAD THE WORD!

To get the plugin, click HERE

Here’s a wierd Facebook trick that was posted by Amaan. It’s a pointless yet interesting easter egg that the Facebook developers have added into the website. With a simply combination on the keyboard, you will get bubbles showing up (like the sunlight through glass) everywhere you click on the website.

The combination you need to do is:

UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, B, A, ENTER

Then you should see the bubbles. To deactivate it, simply log off and in again.

I wonder if there are any other Facebook tricks like this? Anyone know of any?

What is New:

1. The “new” News Feed
2. Like
3. Events (including the ability to RSVP)
4. Notes
5. Pages
6. Create new photo albums
7. Upload photos to any album
8. Zoom into photos
9. Easier photo tagging
10. Profile Pictures albums
11. A new home screen for easy access to all your stuff, search, and notifications
12. Add your favorite profiles and pages to the home screen
13. Better Notifications (they link to the comments so you can reply)
14. Quickly call or text people right from the Friends page
15. Messages you are typing will be restored if you quit or are interrupted by a phone call

The one feature everyone is asking for, Push Notifications, is in development but it won’t make it into 3.0. You can expect it in a 3.1 update later this summer.

It seems from the first screenshot that this Facebook app will allow you to update your Facebook status from the Android’s homescreen.

There is no confirmed date as to when this app will be available on the Android Market.

A few other viruses have tried to use Facebook in similar ways to propagate themselves.

That is what a Facebook spokesman said in a recent email he sent out. Also also mentioned that only a very small ammount of Facebook users have been infected with the virus.

The Koobface virus spreads by using infected users sending messages to their friends with headings like ‘you look awsome in the video’. When the user clicks the link, it will ask them to download a new version of ‘Adobe Flash Player’. Once you download the file, your computer becomes infected.

Facebook now have a page on their website showing how to get rid off the virus once you have got it, http://www.facebook.com/security.

The creators of this virus have not yet been found but it is known that they are constantly updating the virus to make it be able to get around the new Facebook  security.

This is just a word of warning from use at AllTechRelated. Be careful with Facebook and don’t download a ‘Adobe Flash Player’ update from a link on Facebook.
