Spotify Confirms its Disco Ball App Icon Will be Retired This Week
The standard Spotify app logo replaced by the disco ball refresh. Many of whom didn't take a strong liking to it.
FYI: Facebook Crashing Repeatedly, It’s Not iOS 6.0.1 [Update]
Apple released iOS 6.0.1 to the world today for download. Just a quick PSA for those about to update–note this update causes Facebook to crash upon opening the app for a second or two. Reinstalling the app does not fix the problem. Looks like this is a Facebook issue and not iOS issue as it’s crashing for everyone.
So if you are a Facebook addict, stay away from iOS 6.0.1 until an update is pushed out for the latter, or stick to the mobile version at m.facebook.com.
Don’t worry. It’s going to get better.
Update: Looks like the crash is happening for some, but not others.
Update 2: Looks like this crash is for all versions of iOS–so iOS doesn’t look to be the blame. Updated the above.

Update 3: Facebook is back online. You can rest calmly now.

I’ve updated to ios6.0.1 and the FB app works fine on both iPhone 5 and iPad 3
Crashes on both my 3rd gen iPad and my iPhone 4. Both are running iOS 6.0. They both start fine, but if I scroll down they crash. I expect there is some content in my news feed that is causing the crash.

Anyone having issues with the wifi setting remembering the wifi password with this releases of 6.0.1?
my iPhone 5 keeps asking for the network password. 🙁
Did the following already but still it keeps forgetting every time I log off wifi and log back in:
Reboot your device with the on/off switch
Reset network settings (General–>Reset–>Reset Network Settings)
Select your network and tap “Forget this Network”
Select your network and tap “Renew Lease”
