oh and hoverboards would be cool too.
I hate the Facebook, try as I might I've had zero success in migrating my family and friends to superior services like twitter & google+. (I'm gen x btw). Reason being is my non computer literate family and friends can't cope with the cognitive dissonance of learning yet another www site on the internet. If they do manage to do so, then there's no-one there, except boring self-promoters (hello twitter!). So Facebook will be around for a long time to come and people like me who know there's better alternatives will still be forced to use it.
Getting back on topic, postponing the IPO makes a tonne of sense. The markets are in turmoil with Greece and Italy about to default. For an IPO of the size of Facebook, any sensible banker would wait and see.
Plus the USA has its election next year, so inevitably the pork barrel will come out. No doubt that will add a couple of digits to the user/revenue/ebitda mulitple that Facebook will be valued at.

If the question was "what's the best gaming PC for $1,000?", the answer would be:
1) if you're not running Crysis on your overclocked Amgia, (on some weird-ass linux distro of course) then you have no right to be asking, and obviously don't know what you're talking about.
2) No way in hell your mom is gonna give you the $1,000.
hmmm with the easily obtainable f/oss your kindle can read anything.
WHOOOSH!!
oops 1.8 ZB = 144 x estimated information content of all human knowledge.
Using 1 LoC = 20 TB, then 1.8 ZB = 96,636,764 LoCs
Or as wolfram alpha says 1.8 ZB = 144,000 x estimated information content of all human knowledge.
Excuse my ignorance, but why not have a system that locks you out after three attempts and sends an email to your previously verified email account?
Why all this focus on "unguessable" passwords when it looks like if you have a powerful enough computer you can guess most in minutes?
Ok perhaps banks & public utilities need all the crypto stuff, but Joe-sixpack? Surely there's a more elegant solution than getting people to remember unmemorable passwords (which leads to post-it note on the monitor syndrome anyway)
Has the secretary disavowed all knowledge of his actions?
If not, then I don't believe it
