Facebook lawsuit: Paul Ceglia arrested

Paul Ceglia, who two years ago sued Mark Zuckerberg, has been arrested. He is accused of fraud. Ceglia claimed he owned 50% stake in Facebook; the stake was supposed to be a remuneration for some programming work.  

In 2010, Paul Ceglia filed a lawsuit against Zuckerberg demanding his promised 50% interest in FB. Lately, the US court has announced that Ceglia falsified the first page of the agreement between him and the Fecebook owner.  Moreover, it claimed that emails from July 2003 and July 2004 in which both men allegedly discussed thefacebook.com and ideas on how to make money on the website were fabricated as well.

Each of Paul Ceglia’s frauds (mail fraud and wire fraud) carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Facebook and Yahoo to beat Google?

Two women who made Google the most popular search engine now declare war against the company. Together with Facebook and Yahoo  they want to create a better browser than Google’s.  

These women are Sheryl Sandberg and Marissa Mayer. They both used to work for Google, but now would like, together with Fecebook and Yahoo, to create a search engine that would be the best in the market. Currently, the unquestionable leader in this field is Google. Google website is visited by 620 million people daily and 97% of the company’s income comes from ads.

This market domination cannot be accepted by FB and Yahoo. Therefore, they hired two former Google managers, Sandberg and Mayer. These two women are the ones to be praised for the success of Google.

The decision on hiring these two influential businesswomen by Facebook and Yahoo should not be surprising. The FB owner, Mark Zuckerberg, has always been dreaming of replacing Google on the first place in the ranking of search engines.
