Facebook’s billion users, Instagram, the McWhopper: What was in and what was out this week
Here’s what’s in and what’s out for the week ending August 28.

Oh, and 1 billion people used Facebook on Monday, Facebook proudly announced, opening the gates to a barrage of ridicule that 1 billion users isn’t actually that cool.
