daktari writes "Dartmouth College professor Sydney Finkelstein, best selling author of 15 books on leadership and business strategy, has for the third time compiled a list with the top five worst CEOs. Last year's list included CEOs of Netflix, Research in Motion, and Hewlett-Packard. This year's list had Zynga's Mark Pincus and former Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn vie for the top spot. Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and Groupon's Andrew Mason almost made the list. Zuckerberg got hammered for his “massive ego,” while both men were deemed immature and letting their company's share price dip. Professor Finkelstein: “There’s no reason to believe they have the management skills to run a major public company.""

Teenage girls? For some reason I'm always tempted to attribute those astonishingly backward comments containing "retard/faggot/nigger/etc" words to the mindset of pimply pubescent BOYS utterly lacking any grace, respect or self worth. Sort of like tagging walls to prove that your existence is not futile, and that you do matter (despite your alcoholic deadbeat parents stating otherwise). Perhaps you're right, and it's been girls spilling their bile all along.

It will be interesting to see who self starters w/ their $100 degrees are likely to hire when they start becoming successful. Would they hire the folks with the same $100 degree or the folks who are part of the much more expensive "insider" system?

a mechanism that people can reasonably expect should work on the largest social networking provider in existence at the moment.
You are not Facebook's customer, you are Facebook's product. Facebook will care for their product (=you) only just enough to prevent you from leaving.
Facebook is more a "giant private data collection vortex" than a "social networking provider". It monetises your data and gives you enough "tools" to voluntary share as much personal stuff as they can get away with, leaving you with the illusion that you've gained the upper hand in this exchange.

A patent pool company (until now unbeknown to me) that has registered the bootstrap "the standard for standards". The horror...the horror.
If their website is anything to go by, they make themselves look like foolish small fish. But I guess, to be trading water in the patent pool, one has to have larger shark fins. I could be mistaken though.
