Darn FB to many friends.

Doesn't seem to help me. I haven't used the app in two days & the battery is running down the same as when using the app.

Thought Apple vetted apps before allowing them on iTunes...?
Power drain would have been hard to miss.
So, that's two to blame:
- developer
- Apple

Okay, three: Facebook users!

I do not think power drain is tested for the Apple store. Any game that keeps the screen on will drain battery... Facebook (if it is to blame) most likely is doing too many wakeups to check for FB updates. In the article they seem to imply it wakes up every 10 seconds. That sounds like it would have been an easy bug to spot.
