The new FBook app will be submitted to Apple soon, they say. "It's 98% done." From Joe on the Facebook app dev. team:
Facebook for iPhone 3.0 is coming very soon. I can't predict an exact date when I will submit to Apple, but I can say that I am about 98% done. So what's new in this update?
1. The "new" News Feed 2. Like 3. Events (including the ability to RSVP) 4. Notes 5. Pages 6. Create new photo albums 7. Upload photos to any album 8. Zoom into photos 9. Easier photo tagging 10. Profile Pictures albums 11. A new home screen for easy access to all your stuff, search, and notifications 12. Add your favorite profiles and pages to the home screen 13. Better Notifications (they link to the comments so you can reply) 14. Quickly call or text people right from the Friends page 15. Messages you are typing will be restored if you quit or are interrupted by a phone call
The one feature everyone is asking for, Push Notifications, is in development but it won't make it into 3.0. You can expect it in a 3.1 update later this summer.
When I have submitted the app to Apple I will let you all know!

And included these screenshots:
I'm happy with just the addition of the "Like" button, finally. Anything else is pretty useless to me until Push notification comes out in the next minor release.
You've waited long enough. Now's the time to calmly bust out with a moonwalk when someone makes a bet that you can't. To see a visual of this incredibly cool dance move, watch the how to moonwalk video from which I transcripted the following steps:
Find a smooth surface. The smoother, the better. Wooden floors or stage will do best. Soft dance shoes help
Back straight. Feet together pointing forward
'L" position - Lift your right leg, place your toes down on the floor about a foot behind your left leg
Balance - Learn to keep your balance. To make it easier, increase the width between your feet.
The slide - lean back onto your rear leg and slide the left heel back and into the floor so it finishes behind the right leg-- and at the end of the movement, snap the heel of your left foot up off the floor. The toes of both feet should never come off the floor, even when the heels do
The snap - As you snap your left heel up off the floor, your right heel should simultaneously snap down onto the floor.
Copy - From the finishing position on the last move, duplicate the slide on the other foot
The head - as you slide back, move your head forward to create an illusion of leaving it left behind due to the movement.
The arms - swing your arms as if you were walking forward normally
