Computerworld - If you, like a lot of people, didn't like Facebook's News Feed redesign last year, you're in luck.
The social network is trying to change what you don't like -- with another redesign.
Facebook announced Thursday afternoon that it's launching another redesign of its News Feed and it's going to be a mix of the old design and the revamp launched a year ago.

Give Us This Day Yer Mutha's Daily Rant:  Well, here we go again...Do you remember all of the fun you had the last time FB changed their format?  Of course you do.  I'll bet you also remember your last root canal, right?  Maybe stubbing your toe in the dark?  
Time will tell, and soon:  The "improvements" are scheduled to roll out "in the coming weeks", which tells me that I have absolutely no reason to believe FB will work at all anytime after tomorrow.  Or maybe the day after that.  Or maybe the one (rare) day that I actually need FB to accomplish something in the real world.  At least this "improvement" won't affect mobile devices.  Yet.
I don't know about you, but I'm mentally prepared to bend over.  Again.  After all, it's gonna be an IMPROVEMENT.  And that's the one they told us about.  How about the one(s) they're keeping to themselves?  Please comment below...
