Where did he get the money. $300M for lawsuit. how old was he den?

The Winklevoss twins are believed to have been given 1.2m shares to settle their claim, which could now be worth $300m. The law suit is around 2004 but the settlement was few years ago ( when Zuckerberg worthed billions of dollars)

The discovery of Facebook has really put the young entrepreneur on the spotlight. I woke up this morning with a feeling of writing some facts about Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook owner. I decided to write a few things about the owner of Facebook that you probably don't know

Things you probably didn't know about Mark Zuckerberg

1. Mark Zuckerberg paid $200,000 to buy Facebook.com domain! Yes, on February 9th 2004, Mark officially launched his social network with Thefacebook.com to differentiate his domain name from Facebook.com which was owned by a charity organisation known as AboutFace. AboutFace is a canadian charity organization dedicated to providing support to individuals with facial disfiguration.

2. Sean Parker put the 'cool' on Facebook. It was Mark's best friend, Eduardo Savrin who funded him (Mark) to create Thefacebook.com. Sean Parker is the brain behind the acquisition of Facebook.com. Sean was the owner of Napster a notorious music website where he illegally uploaded musics for downloads. Napster was later shut down by big music labels. Sean Parker was one of the people who was fascinated by the rapid growth of Thefacebook.com and in 2005, he made a proposal to Mark Zuckerberg.
Mark was thrilled by his proposal and in 2005, Sean parker, with his connections, attracted investors who pulled together $200,000 to buy Facebook.com domain. This was against Eduardo's wish as he did not want anything to do with Sean who was facing legal incarceration . Sean was later arrested and kicked out of Facebook for involving himself in drugs.

3. Zuckerberg paid $300m for 'stealing' the idea behind facebook. Six days after the launch of Facebook, three Harvard seniors accused Zuckerberg of using their ideas to develop his own product while pretending he was helping them create a social network called Harvardconnection.com. The case was later settled in court and Mark had to pay them $300m

4. Facebook has acquired over 65 companies since its inception! Do you know that among Facebook's acquisition are Whatsapp and Instagram? Whatsapp, a mobile instant messenger was bought for $19,000,000,000 on 19th February, 2015. Earlier on, Facebook had acquired Instagram, a photo sharing platform for ($1,000,000,000) and Oculus Virtual Reality on March 25, 2014 for $2,000,000,000 ( the second largest Facebook's acquisition after Whatsapp).
Other notable companies acquired by Mark are LiveRail ($400,000,000-$500,000,000), Face.com($100,000,000) ,Atlas Solutions (less than $100,000,000) etc.

5. The total cost of acquisition is more than the GDP of Fiji, Zimbabwe and Maldives combined. So far, Facebook has spent $23,124,700,000 acquiring companies. Will you be willing to surrender your company to Facebook? How much would you like to sell it? LOL


6. 11 companies offered to buy Facebook. Barely 4 months after its launch, Facebook has received tempting offers from rich people and people representing rich companies. Below are list of some of the companies.

7. Mark is the Fifth richest man on earth. With a net worth of , $72.7 billion, Mark Zuckerberg is the fifth most richest man after Amancio Ortega. Despite being the youngest at the age of 32, the Havard dropout has found his way to the top ten richest .

Before you go for a car insurance, make sure you have gone through the insurance policies. No matter how good your car insurance policy is, it cannot cover everything you think it does. There are many things that can disqualify you from claiming your insurance. I will be revealing to you in this post 5 surprising things that your car insurance does not cover.

1. Using your car for commercial services. When you use your car for Uber, Taxify or to deliver goods for your customers, your policy provider is not liable for any damages that may result from theft or collision. Since using your car for commercial purposes is not within the standard insurance polices, your insurer can even decide to terminate your policy. Some insurance companies provide commercial coverage. If you intend to use your car for renting business or commercial purposes, make sure you buy an insurance plan that covers it

2. Personal property in your car. If your car is stolen or is involved in an accident, your insurer will pay for the damaged parts. However, your insurance provider will not pay for your personal property like laptops, smartphones, jewelries, etc found in the car. Always make sure your car is securely locked to avoid invasion during the course of an accident as items stolen from your car will not be covered by your insurance provider. If you'd like to include your personal belongings in your car insurance plan, go for Homeowners Insurance. This type of insurance requires you to file a police report in order to claim damages.

3. Add-ons and customizables. If your car did not come with alloy rims, DVD players, amplifiers, TVs custom seats, custom exhausts, etc, your auto insurance will not cover them from any damages that may occur during the use of your car. Some insurance companies provide options to cover for custom parts, do well to check them out .

4. People outside your insurance policy. Let's say your hubby or your children are not listed in your insurance plan and there happens to be an accident or theft, your insurance provider will not be liable for any damages. Make sure you list all that are living with you; your hubby, children, siblings, friends,neighbours to be covered by your insurance policy.

5. Gradual wear and tear. Under standard insurance policy, any damages as a result of normal wear and tear of your car parts such as the seats, tires, electrical wirings, electronic devices will not be covered. This is why insurance companies review your car for depreciations that may have resulted from wear and tear of some parts and account for them in order to get your car's current Insured Declared Value (insured value of your car)

hmmm great den , lyf isnt easy for d blind

I'm telling u

Rmxr:
Imagine someone of his caliber coming out to say something like this. This is a very popular actor with a fan base consisting people from various ethnic groups. Thunder will fire them too? They will support this until someone from another ethnic group does the same, then they will pull out the victim card that everybody hates them

And this has always been the problem of some people. They always think speaking up will make them lose their fans and submit themselves to the blackmails. Thanks to chiwetalu agu for speaking up against all odds

Being blind is one of the most horrible feelings. Microsoft has released a talking camera for blind people or people with low vision. Though the app still needs a bit of fine-tuning, it is a huge technological breakthrough. The app dubbed "Seeing AI" allows the user to analyse its environment by using the app. For example, the app can take photos of people and describe their facial characteristics, estimate their age, emotion and what they are wearing. The app also allows its user to identify and read texts real-time.

The beauty of technology is that it performs most of our tasks without our knowledge. There are many times our cars could have skidded off the road when we apply emergency brakes save for sensors that ensure we stay out of trouble. There are times we need to take split second decisions in order to avoid dangers. Example: when a "danfo bus" directly ahead of you, without warning, suddenly stops to pick a passenger; when that daring looking truck in the bid to beat the traffic crosses the road and you are so close to hitting it; when you misjudge the depth of a pothole and need to avoid it by all means; etc. In these scenarios, what every experienced driver will impulsively do is to apply his brakes and if need be, swerve away from the obstacle at the same time.

Conventionally, when we apply emergency braking, there are chances that the wheels get locked (stops rotating) and the vehicle may lose stability and steering ability. If the wheels are not rotating, it is impossible to steer our car out of trouble. The Anti-lock Braking System ensures that the wheels don't get locked up when we apply our brakes. Chrisdiary.com has put together some facts you need to know about Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and they are listed below:

#1 Fact: Not all cars are equipped with the ABS technology. ABS has been around for over 20 years but the fact is that not all cars built within this period have Anti-lock Braking technology. For some car companies, it was an option that you had to buy while ordering your vehicle. To check if your car has ABS, switch on your ignition and watch out for an ABS indicator light. However, if the ABS indicator is off or the hydraulic indicator is constantly switched on, take your car for a checkup !

#2 Fact: ABS releases your brake. In conventional braking system, experienced drivers know when their wheels are about to lock and subsequently, release their foot from the brakes to prevent the wheels from locking and car from skidding.The driver is able to have full control of steering. In ABS enabled vehicles, the releasing of the brakes is automated by a system which detects when the wheels are about to lock and a series of hydraulic valves which limit or reduce the braking on that wheel. To make sure you don't skid off the track, ABS ensures uniform application of brakes on all wheels.

#3 Fact: ABS does not activate all the time. Hey! I mean when you brake normally as you would when you need to slow down for the red traffic light or park your car in the garage, the ABS will not be triggered. The ABS only comes on when you match the brake pedal hard enough to trigger it in cases of emergencies. In other words, the Anti-lock Braking system works when it is needed.

#4 Fact: Apply steady and hard pressure. Of course, nobody goes on to apply the brakes hard just for the fun of it. Steady and hard pressure is needed to activate the ABS and most times, we do it reflexively. Resist the temptation of pumping your breaks if you must use ABS. Pumping method is used in older vehicles where the driver is trying to prevent the wheels from locking.

#5 Fact: Sitting position is vital. In an emergency situation, you may need both hands to be on the driving wheel and you do not want your left foot to lie idle under your right foot. You would want it to press the 'dead' pedal or the Clutch (if you are driving manual) to push you back to your seat. This will put you in a better position to apply the brakes harder.

#6 Fact: Noise and Vibrations are normal. When your ABS is triggered, it is normal to experience vibrations or pulsations on the brake pedal. The vibration is as a result of the upward and downward movement of the pedal caused by the automated application and and releasing of the brakes to ensure that the wheels don't get locked up. Other effects are groaning noise, periodic dropping of the brake pedal, a hard or non compliant brake pedal, an indicator on the dashboard. All these signs are normal and shows that the ABS are in good working condition . However, if you hear a squealing sound each time you apply your brakes normally, it could be an indication that your brake pads are dead and you should consider servicing it.

#7 Fact: An ABS enabled car does not mean a shorter stopping distance. The stopping distance for a conventional braking system and an ABS braking system on both wet and dry roads is about the same. The advantage of the latter over the former is its on-road stability and steering ability when we apply emergency or automatic braking. In fact, non ABS braked system has more advantage on a snowy road because the locking of the wheels can even give it a better traction on the slippery road. However, you cannot steer with locked wheels.

As we can see, ABS has a lot of advantages over the conventional braking system. We should however not abuse the privileges. We should always be on the lookout for any possible dangers and ensure we apply our brakes early to avert it.

Scam.

Weiten "$" they find inside "nigerian" adsense? You people should stop all these useless phony business.

You will die young scamming people.

Nigerian adsense currency is in dollars.
Minimum withdrawal threshold is $100
I can't withdraw $18 unless I hit $100
I'm selling it to someone who thinks he can reach the minimum withdrawal amount

Stupidity is dying in ignorance. That's how you go on branding innocent people scammers but when you see a real scammer, you will fall for their trick.

Ehiscotch:
Foolish comments like yours is why the government should not lift a finger in the SE.

You wail and complain everyday about marginalization and neglect by past administrations but whenever the current FG tries to do what your leaders have failed to do you post nonsense like this.

The FG can choose to neglect the entire SE as it has proven that the SE is negligible in elections.

It is no longer d afonja helping the Igbos... it is now the FG..... hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Afonja, cowardice and double mouthedness is like.... somebody help me with Zuma's pix

First you have to know when to use, 'so called'

Secondly you have to report it to the police and finance lawyers that will prosecute him.

Thirdly, you have to douse the volcano that will erupt after you must have arrested him.

And fourthly, you have to be ready to bear the outcome of the volcano( if you survive it)
