I vehemently HATE this pattern.

I'm on a slow connection, and I open the app.

Yay, I see some (cached) content. I start reading.

After a random amount of time EVERYTHING CHANGES, and I can't get back to it. It's gone, for all intents and purposes, forever.

I'd love to have a something which tells me there's fresh content to be had, and that I could - if and when I so wanted - CHOOSE to see it.
