    "The Social Network"... and the story continues...

    Seems $65m wasn't enough for them!

    They are the victims of one of the biggest rip-offs in web history - or they are two greedy, over-privileged, young men trying for the second time to sponge off somebody else's genius.

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    because it would be a single bipolar hipster yelling in a coffee bar about how, like, totally awesome that one sandwich at the place with the thing was.

    That would at least be entertaining! Reminds me of the Gonz from Wastell's intro in Krooked Kronichles (RIP, Van). Want me to quote it?! I don't care, here I go anyway!
    "We got Stevie Wonder on the tunes... we got all these people here ready to take our order if we want a sandwich, coffee... I mean, this is the life! Van Wastell, does it get much better than this?" - Mark Gonzales
    But yeah, screw Facebook.

    Zuckerberg is one of the biggest douchebags on the planet. I hope (although it will never happen) they take everything away from him, not just $.

    ...and remember kids, Zuckerberg was the one that called his first few thousand users, and I quote, “dumb fucks” for trusting him with their data. And people thought this dude was trustworthy at one point?

    I liked it... Jesse Eisnberg played his part very well, and knowing the ins and outs of the rise of FB was quite entertaining. They should make a class out it that teach students in regards to ETHICS

    Ah, ok, I misunderstood what you were trying to say. That, however, makes perfect sense.
