Facebook 5.0 for iOS dropped on the App Store today, and the new version amounts to a complete do-over.

The photo opening experience has been transformed from painfully slow to nearly instantaneous. Users can now tap a photo to open it right away and pull down to close the photo just as quickly.

Even though we don't actually work the nerve endings, the correlation of the bottom of the feet to every region of the body definitely exists. It was orig...
