Zuck seems to be the biggest scumbag in SanFran. Everything he's "created" seems to be stolen from someone else.

Are they going to trace the funding of FB too? Like the whole CIA/NSA/TIA conservative PAC funding?

[www.nzherald.co.nz]

Considering that FB took off at the same time that the TIA system was being hidden inside DARPA and NSA and finally the foreign intelligence black budget.

Since they are a private firm they don't have to report on whom they are selling their users information to. Not that there is some wild conspiracy. More like a meeting of like minds and purposes and profits.

None of which changes the fact that Facebook is kind of lame.

Let me juxtaposition a little string of words for ya

"Little talentless bitch"

All of this fuss over a web community for little teenage shits. Who cares? If you're a facebook, it's a symbol that you're a useless, self-absorbed seed. No one cares about you, really, unless they want sex. And even then its all a ruse.

Social networking is useless. Down with this parasitic MLM scheme.

As much as I hate to admit it I remember reading a great Rolling Stones article from a few months back about this dispute; it also strangely involves the other "evil genius" who started Napster and who felt the brief sunshine that is Zuckerberg upon his fortunes before they, too, had a mysterious falling out.

@siliconvalleydropout: I think it means that Zuckerberg might have used his money to launch and then screwed him out of return on investment. Guys like this tend to say, "what an ungrateful investor... I paid them their $20,000 back, and it's not like they actually wrote any code."

@siliconvalleydropout:

The only "Code" of Zuckerberg we've ever seen was an include head.php. That's not even structured programming logic. This little hyena barely knew HTML and read PHP tutorials on blogs.

He's a hack, a weasel who got lucky. A lucky little, pathetic seed. You can tell this kid has nothing because he's

1.) Not original

2.) Couldn't run a fish stand in India without driving it into the ground.

I spiritually await the day when this website goes offline. The CEO, embarassed, fades into obscurity. You see him at a bar, "Yeah, I used to do web 2.0, it's a tough racket" *lifts stein*

And then we mustn't forget the worthless cretin that infest this kool kids club of profile peaking and cowardly enjoyment. They'll look back at how feeble and petty they were.

@Bornean: I'm fairly certain that while in High School he co-wrote "The Brain", a plugin for Winamp that was an automatic shuffler based on past (manual) listening habits. Strangely, he's only a reviewer now ([www.winamp.com]), but I'm quite certain his name was on the credits when I used it years ago.

@Uncle_Billy_Slumming: If anything, Saverin was the moneyman and Zuckerberg the coder (for some loose definition of "coder," as others have noted). As for the meaning of "founder" vs. "cofounder," it seems to be some absurd semantic game Zuckerberg likes to play that gives him, in his mind, a privileged status as "founder" over his lowly "cofounders."

I'm amazed at the trail of slime the Zuck has managed to leave in such a short amount of time. It takes a special something to start screwing over everyone around you at such a young age. His parents must be so proud.

So, wait. Does that mean that they unblocked each other? Or is it still complicated?
