WTF? LinkA judge in the United States has delayed ruling on claims the founder of the social networking website Facebook stole his ideas from rivals. Mark Zuckerberg has been taken to court by the three creators of ConnectU. They have accused him of fraud, copyright infringement and misappropriation of trade secrets. ConnectU says Zuckerberg agreed to write some code for their site when they were all students at Harvard. But he never finished the job and then launched Facebook in 2004. It now has 31m users compared to ConnectU's 70,000.Last year Facebook turned down a £500m buyout offer from Yahoo.ConnectU wants to the court to shut down Facebook and order it to pay them its profits. Lawyers for Facebook say Connect-U's founders have no evidence to support their claims. The judge adjourned the case until August 8, saying he needed more information before he could make a ruling. "Each of them had different interests and activities," they wrote. "Only one of them had an idea significant enough to build a great company. That one person was Mark Zuckerberg."

Okay, something definitely has to be wrong with the Compare People application.
Mine says:
your friends have voted you:
Best singer! Most generous! Funniest! Most organized!
...I don't think so.

Hmm myspace has been having some big problems the last couple days. People's friends count have dropped, gone up, then dropped even further. Now the profiles aren't working.

Person who can drink the most! Most trustworthy! Most punctual!
And THERE is where "Compare people" is proven to be flawed.

I was the first to choose "f*** 'em both."
Originally myspace was a lot of fun, then it went to the dumps when little brats ruined it. Then facebook came and saved the nation. Then they added 'applications' and high school, then anyone and ruined themselves. Now myspace is fighting back with applications and musicians are only putting up 30 second clips instead of full songs. f*** 'em both.

Facebook is starting to creep me out a little, after seeing this just today: WTF. We don't even have any mutual friends either!
