I kinda hope they DO land at like 5 bux/share.....why?
to prove that it was nothing but a money hustle from the git go.... and Zuck can to to jail along with the rest of the execs in the crap with him.... like so many other .com bubble bastards that deserve jail time.... I know of only TWO companies worth a shit after all this...MSFT, because of being essentially .gov supported...... and Qualcom, because Dr. Irwin Jacobs did the initial CDMA codec development work to provide to Verizon then ATT/Bellsouth...... Jacob's version of DOS...... IF anyone can name another operation as big and still doing good, go at it, please..... |

BUT Apple has been up and down like a yoyo for years now....
gotta give a huge hit though...but it's not PROTECTED technology, there is NO patent or copywrite that I know of.... so some other outfit comes in on their act and does it outta China Inc for next to nothing...or less... not that I wish Apple anything negative, just have to question the inside and history knowledge.... |

FB will be below $20 by fall.
If they can't monetize the mobile FB apps by year end, they will be below $14. I am dead serious. |

Hmmmm....I could swear that I said that it would fall to shit months ago. They produce nothing and advertising revenues come and go. It is a fad. I was actually on it for a minute, then I remembered that I could give a shit less what anyone else is doing. I got on it to talk to family and it took on a life of its own. You won't see me back there.

If the following is true, he's just another POS rich guy....
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg left no tip after Rome lunch - Telegraph He may be worth $20 billion, but when Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg took his new wife to lunch during their secret honeymoon in Rome he spent just 32 euros (£26) – and did not leave a tip. The owners of the kosher restaurant in Rome's Jewish Ghetto – a historic quarter in the centre of the city – were surprised when Mr Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan walked away without leaving a gratuity. Their bill came to just 32 euros after a lunch consisting of deep-fried artichokes – a Roman Jewish speciality – fried pumpkin flowers and ravioli stuffed with sea bass and artichokes. Instead of wine or beer they opted for a bottle of water and a pot of tea. Waiters at Nonna Betta, which specialises in Roman Jewish cuisine, were amazed by Mr Zuckerberg's parsimony, not just because of his huge wealth but because of Americans' reputation for tipping generously, as is expected of them at home. It was not a case of not enjoying the meal, said the owner of the restaurant. "I asked him 'how was it?' and he said 'very good'", the owner, identified only as Umberto, told Corriere della Sera newspaper. "I had gone up to him and said 'Are you ...?' and he said 'Yes'." It was not the first time that the multi-billionaire chose not to tip – he reportedly did the same thing the night before at Pierluigi, a historic trattoria near Campo de' Fiori, a pizza in the heart of Rome. The couple's honeymoon was a closely guarded secret until a Polish tourist spotted them in the Sistine Chapel, snapped a blurry photograph, and posted it on Twitter – Facebook's social network rival. True to his casual style, the young internet tycoon was wearing jeans, a T-shirt and trainers. They left Rome on Monday, with speculation that they might be heading towards the Amalfi Coast south of Naples before heading back to the US. Mr Zuckerberg, 28, whose shares in Facebook are worth nearly $20 billion, married his long-time girlfriend on May 19 in Palo Alto, California. Their wedding took place a day after Facebook's initial public offering on the NASDAQ stock exchange. The couple had planned the exchange of vows for four months, but surprised their guests, who thought they were to celebrate Miss Chan's recent graduation from medical school, a celebrity magazine reported. Mr Zuckerberg, Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2010, started Facebook in his Harvard University dorm room eight years ago, before dropping out of the Ivy League school. Ms Chan just graduated from medical school at the University of California, San Francisco. The couple met while at Harvard. |

Just because he's rich he doesn't have to tip either. Especially if something was wrong with his rabbit meal. |

Also, the folks that aren't billionaires and don't tip are cheap asses. If ya don't tip and the service was decent or good, then don't go to the phucking restaurant where folks work mostly for tips. |

I always like to hear the reverse stories, of celebrities leaving 100% tips on large bills. I think I've read of Robin Williams and a few others doing that on occasion

Maybe things will pick up if the Apple/Facebook integration pans out. If facebook drops to $20 it might be worth picking up.
