For a while now Facebook has been nagging me to "upgrade" my browser; I wondered why do they care so much? Then I remembered their video ads and it all made sense. They want HTML5 video and Flash present so they can bombard me with obnoxious and irrelevant ads. Nice try Facebook.
 
I'm sure they can find another MBA to have innumerable meetings and do the synergys and paradigms it's not like there is a shortage.
