Wow - got the rights to 'App Store' for free.

I'm yet to read his bio. This is a fact I didn't know about the app part.

How exactly did this happen?

This just confirms everything I already thought about this guy and his company, and his product.

Enjoy it while you got it buddy.


Facebook, eBay, Paypal.


Three companies that got lucky, grew too fast, stagnated, and are teetering on the precipice of having overstayed their welcome. All it's gonna take is one competitor who offers a cleaner, simpler version which doesn't screw its users (and isn't named something stupid ((lookin at you "Google+"))) and that's it. It'll be hanging out at the bar with Myspace for you. ...checking out girls in their 20s out dancing on the floor, thinking, if they only saw you in your prime... you had plenty of hot girls. But don't kid yourself. Teeth whitening strips and a new porsche aren't going to get them again.
 
When was the last time any of you haters created anything as successful as Facebook. I bet your the same people who booed Bill Gates when he saved apple.

Zuckerberg might be smart, but he sure doesn't know how to articulate. That was one of the most incoherent quotes I've ever re-read.

I'll give him a pass for being under 30 and CEO of a billion $$$$ company

If you think google+ is going to beat Facebook you are deluding yourself. It's a blogging platform with an idiotic concept of following to promote the Internet oprah's

Great idea. Follow-thru. Squashing all those who get in the way. Oh yeah, he's also far from being an idiot. Some of the most brilliant people are far from being articulate.

Zuck may not be an idiot, but his idea is horrible.
Taking a special personal relationship and putting it online is like putting a wedding cake into a volcano.
Then he bombs Facebook with ads and useless features.
Then the app comes. Dear god.
Now he's rich, everyone's unhappy with slow Facebook and there's no way out of it except for the ghost town that is Google+.
What a great follow-thru.
 
I loled

Did anyone else think that Lady next to him looks like she's his mom?

I don't say that to insult her, but that she just had that disapproving look and he resembles the perpetual teenager.

I disagree with the ebay part...
 
Half you cats making fun on this guy actually use Facebook. I think it's stupid. But he's smart for getting all of you to use something you claim to dislike.

Well, like I said, it's become sort of a necessary evil that practically holds a monopoly on social networking supersites.

Necessary evil? For who? 12 year olds. Facebook is on my list of things that are ridiculous for people over 22, like chewing gum, wearing Hollister, and having an earring if you're a guy.

e.g. websites that require a Facebook login, organizing meetings en masse, remembering birthdays, etc.
I mean I really don't use it much nowadays since like I said it's become loaded with useless crap, but 500 million other people out of 6.5 billion do and that's what forces many of us to continue using Facebook.

I get along fine without it. Zero of my male friends use it, 25-40 demo. None. It's for kids and old women. Never have I encountered any site where it was a necessity. I'm sure they exist, but they sure don't offer anything I've been compelled to be part of.
