On Thursday, Donald Trump will walk into the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, shake Xi Jinping's hand, and declare it a great meeting. There will be announcements. There will be numbers — billions of dollars in Chinese purchase commitments, a new bilateral mechanism with an important-sounding name, possibly a joint statement on Iran. Trump will post on Truth Social. Markets will rally briefly. Pundits will argue about who won. None of that will tell you what actually happened. What is actually happening in Beijing this week is something more consequential and more uncomfortable than the summit theatre will reveal: two leaders of two deeply mutually dependent superpowers, both of whom need this meeting to succeed for entirely different reasons, sitting across a table in a world that has already moved past the assumptions that defined their last nine months of negotiations.

Every Facebook user is familiar with the Facebook Poke feature and some loved it and others not so much. If you are one of those people who like to use this fun feature and poke your friends -- things just got a little better for you. You can now download the Facebook Poke stand alone App for the iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad. This app works by allowing you to poke your friends either one at a time or multiple friends at once. With the Poke App you can poke, send a message, photo or video in a lightweight way. Once you poke a friend you can set a time for the message, meaning after 1,3,5 or 10 seconds whenever time runs out, the poke disappears completely.
If a friend pokes you using the Poke App you will need to tap and hold down the message to read it, after which it expires. If there is a message that you might be uncomfortable with you can always report it. So this is something that many people didn't see coming. You though the Facebook Poke has silently disappeared, not so it is risen again and this time with t standalone app, all to itself. Facebook was always a place meant for friendship and keeping it light. Facebook Poke is a prominent expression of that and in celebration you can now download the Facebook Poke App for your SmartPhone or Tablet and let the spirit live on.
