add extra paragraph because it evidently wasn't clear enough

| May 20, 2013 at 16:11 | comment | added | Dan Hulme | While we can all agree that fewer permissions looks better, there's no suggestion in that article that writing Facebook Home this way was a deliberate choice to make users feel better. That's a very strong claim to make with no evidence, especially on a site like this, which focuses on substantiable, objective facts, not opinions. | |
| May 20, 2013 at 16:00 | comment | added | Kezz | @DanHulme I don't really want to start a massive discussion here but mainly from here. Engineering wise it would make more sense to allow the end user to install Facebook Home independently of Facebook. Also, as this article and some Google studies show, less permissions mean the user is more likely to feel 'safe' when installing an app. | |
| May 20, 2013 at 12:49 | comment | added | Dan Hulme | @Kezz101 Do you have a source for your claim that it's meant to make users feel better? From an engineering point of view, it's the obvious way to write the app. | |
| May 19, 2013 at 20:13 | comment | added | Kezz | Yes; I'd probably go to 95%. I think it is also worth adding that they do this to quash any paranoia about Facebook Home having loads of access to your device (which Facebook has anyway). | |
| Apr 30, 2013 at 14:54 | comment | added | Naveen | So basically 90% of Home already exists in Facebook app? | |
