An in-depth look at the alleged crimes of Mark Zuckerberg. They posted the court documents too-- even his Harvard application. Facebook sued 02138 magazine (a Cambridge/Harvard "lifestyle" mag) for posting them but the judge ruled in favor of the magazine.

    • "I'm CEO, bitch," says Zuckerberg.

      "The plaintiffs are three Harvard grads: Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, twin rowers currently training for the Beijing Olympics, and Divya Narendra, who since graduation has worked in finance in New York and Boston. In 2002, the three friends dreamed up an online social network called Harvard Connection (subsequently renamed ConnectU), later asking Zuckerberg to finish programming it. Instead of fulfilling his end of the bargain, the plaintiffs say, Zuckerberg stole their ideas and source code to build his own competing social network. “We got royally screwed,” Narendra says in a deposition."

      Well here's another bit of bad press for Facebook. But my question is: Is it really gonna make a bit of difference for users? Do they care if he wasn't completely honest in how Facebook came about? My guess is people will continue throwing sheep and buying virtual tequila shots for each other. As long as that Beacon program doesn't cause a mass-drop out, I think the 'book's future is pretty secure.

    • His Harvard application, his online diary, his email to the Ad Board and more-- it's all here. And legal, apparently.
