It needs a redesign from the ground up. The current layout is too cluttered, hard to navigate and each new version actually makes it worse! Apple surely could take this networking site and simplify it. Apple should buy facebook.

And also I think they should improve the iPhone app for Facebook. It could really use some touch-ups. I think they should be able to tie iChat and the chat feature in Facebook together.

Rather than wasting it's reserves just becuase it has reserves (something Microsoft is unanimously famous for), Apple should aim to increase its R&D budget, and create more fine products instead of monopolizing the social websites like FB or twitter.

On one hand, it would be really cool for Apple to buy facebook it would not be a really good envestment at all for Apple. Their money would be better spent elseware.

I strongly doubt that Apple could make any serious money off of Facebook, Twitter or any other ad based service. They aren't an ad based company like Google and would either waste time and effort learning to do it right or fail miserably at it. A gaming company may make more sense if Apple is looking to enter the game market as they have hinted at, but a large company like EA doesn't make sense because of their large overhead. The truth is that the reserves keeps Apple from going under like certain other companies have during the recession and gets them ready to strike back the second the economy picks back up. While HP and Microsoft are hiring back all the employees they fired, Apple will be already hard at work.
