Okay, it's Tuesday.. Facebook update time.

Has anyone seen how the new messenger update looks on a PC? It really hurts my eyes, and is such an uncomfortable design.
What I'm really puzzled by is how did that even get through QA? You'd expect Facebook to be on top of their game.

Even more annoying for my OCD is that the entire site's design is fairly clean and neat, then the messenger part looks like something slammed in from a 90's site, and stretched to fit HD.

I'm a freelancer, a lot of my work involves facebook messenger. So I'm hoping that this is a bug (Some missing stylesheet or something) otherwise I'll have to see if I can code a custom interface for messenger somehow. (Never tried before)

Facebook pushes updated live on the fly and tweaks it based on live feedback.

There's a while Ted talk on it.
Fascinating stuff to be honest.

It was presented by a chick. Some life lesson of working in a live feedback fast paced environment.

I'll see if I can get it when I have Internet
