We've all been victims of the distasteful Facebook tag at one point or another, and we've all felt that tiny shiver down our spine when that fateful red "1" tells us [insert casual acquaintance] just tagged a new photo of you.

# 2013-05-14 05:36:00, Engadget
When we last checked in with Sandvine's stat trackers, Netflix reigned supreme in online video traffic at home, especially downstream. It's still sitting pretty several months later, Sandvine tells AllThingsD. Quite possibly helped by the House of Cards debut, Netflix kept a healthy lead at 32.3...Hands-on with Nokia JobLens on the Lumia 925: what a way to make a living (video)
# 2013-05-14 02:24:00, Engadget
We're hoping we won't need to use Nokia's JobLens app for real any time soon, but at the Lumia 925 launch event, we thought we'd at least explore our options.

# 2013-05-13 11:30:47, TechCrunch
If you want a digital detox, you're going to have to pull the trigger yourself. Social Roulette is an app that would delete one in six users' Facebook account data, but its founder confirms it's been blocked by Facebook so it no longer functions.

# 2013-05-13 06:42:13, Pocketables

# 2013-05-13 05:10:28, BGR: The Three Biggest Letters In Tech
The HTC First, or “Facebook phone” as many prefer to call it, is officially a flop. It certainly wasn’t a good sign when AT&T dropped the price of HTC’s First to $0.99 just one month after its debut, and now BGR has confirmed that HTC and Facebook’s little experiment is nearing its end.

# 2013-05-12 07:27:03, TechCrunch
Facebook didn't realize just how important widgets, docks, and app folders were to Android users, and that leaving them out of Home was a huge mistake. That's because some of the Facebookers who built and tested Home normally carry iPhones, I've confirmed. Lack of "droidfooding" has left Facebook sc...Where Do You Chat?

# 2013-05-11 15:18:00, Gizmodo
By now we're mostly used to Facebook moving the furniture around every once in a while. We complain for a while, then just deal with it. But in a way, it's still maddening. Your stuff was HERE and now it's HERE. (Right, right, glass houses.) But at least Facebook can't barge in and rearrange your r...Facebook Home Is Losing Steam In The Charts…Fast
# 2013-05-11 10:00:24, TechCrunch

Its Google Play rankings have been dropping steadily after the launch buzz wore off, according to new data from top app store analytics firms.

# 2013-05-10 16:45:37, BGR: The Three Biggest Letters In Tech
It’s difficult to tell whether Facebook Home has been successful or not since it has been downloaded more than 1 million times so far but has also been bombed with negative reviews that could mean it has a short shelf life.

# 2013-05-10 05:00:55, BGR: The Three Biggest Letters In Tech
Is Facebook doing its homework?

When it first announced Home, Facebook said that it would support the HTC One and Galaxy S 4 as soon as they arrived.
