Skimmed through the js code after loading it into http://jsbeautifier.org. Looks like it may be used to load java applets.

(edit) Looks like Facebook is using the Java RIA framework, http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jw...

If on Chrome, check out the prettyprint extension, which uses the same jsbeautifier code to do it auto for ya. https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/nipdlgebaanapcph...

I remember they used to (and as far as I know still do) use a java applet to bulk upload pictures to photos.

It lets you pick multiple pictures from a directory on your hard drive, rotate them if you need to, and then I believe it does some compression before finally loading them up

They used to have an applet by Augrima. I bought the same one. It works well and doesn't use flash.
