Tech: Mark Zuckerberg: My lawyer isn’t “unsure” about anything

  • If we said that we were unsure, I think that was likely taken out of context. Because I think we were quite sure that we did not sign a contract that says that they have any right to ownership over Facebook.
  • Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg • Responding to the widely-reported claim that Zuck’s lawyer is unsure that Zuckerberg signed a contract with Paul Ceglia. Despite this, he did reportedly have a contract with the wood fuel salesman. Just not one that gave the sketchy dude the right to 84 percent of Facebook. On a funny side note, Facebook has a lawyer named Lisa Simpson. Which is what we expected her to be all along. Right? source

Tech: Facebook doesn’t know what to do if your friend dies

  • It kind of freaked me out a bit. It was like he was coming back from the dead.
  • Courtney Purvin • Regarding how weird she found it that Facebook was telling her to get back in touch with a family friend who recently died. Think ghosts in the machine. It’s a problem that Facebook is aware of, but admits that even it doesn’t know how to handle. “It’s a very sensitive topic, and, of course, seeing deceased friends pop up can be painful,” said company spokeswoman Meredith Chin. It was also a problem they rarely faced when their users were young and fresh-faced, but now even your grandpa’s on the site. source

Culture: “The Social Network” trailer (in full this time) is looking pretty rad

  • It makes Harvard feel like a country club. We were hoping that this project would be pretty awesome, and the trailer thus far is suggesting that it might in fact live up to the hype. Our fingers are crossed. Don’t screw this up, Fincher and Sorkin!
