Ironic, considering Mark Z is all about openness.

Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
Zuck: Just ask.
Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

Zuck: People just submitted it.

Sure, a high-end gaming system is going to draw more power even when idle than a crappy underpowered and outdated system (like my mom's)

Current generation of video cards, even the high end, draw maybe 2-3 watts when idle. The Ivy Bridge CPUs are 77 Watt TDP rated and idle they consume peanuts. With a good PSU and SSD, I seriously doubt these systems will draw more power idle than a crappy outdated system.

Comment Re:It's stupid to compare to Facebook's profit (Score 5, Insightful) 423

There are a few issues with Facebook making a lot of money:
(1) - Click through rates of Facebook ads are abysmal, at best.
(2) - People use Facebook to share stuff, not to look for stuff to buy, thus they ignore most ads. Reason Google click through rates are better because people look for stuff on Google, often to buy.
(3) - Growth of Facebook in countries where the population has spending power, thus being desired products by advertisers, has stalled or it's very slow.

3d party tools? All of them are either slow, buggy or have some very weird behaviours.

Oh and I plugged my second monitor on my Ubuntu box, didn't even had to configure anything, it detected it. Took me a whole 5 seconds to get it running. Flawlessly.

Comment Re:The Most Secure Mobile OS (Score 2) 291

Wrong on both counts.

IOS jailbreaks are based on LOCAL root exploits. You have to have it in hand to jailbreak it. There is no drive-by jailbreak available.

ORLY? The most popular jailbreak exploits were simply something like downloading a malformed PDF file. That is something that can be easily converted into 'drive by'.
