That's fine as Zuckerberg isn't worth a flying f*ck to me......
Joe Average isn't worth $10 a year to Mark Zuckerberg
You're not worth $US10 a year to Mark Zuckerberg. That's one of the many factoids revealed in The Social NetworkTM's new Form 10-Q (PDF) filed last Friday.

I agree - Facebook is a perfect example something that's bound to be popular on mobile phones: something that people check all day, most easily be done with a phone that they have on them all the time, and more likely to be something to check when you're not at home with plenty of other things to do. Even for people who work in offices, checking on a phone has privacy advantages over using the work computer, even if it's less ideal. And people never seem to type more than two sentences at a time (if they type at all - so much of the status updates are just automated rubbish), so you can get away with no proper keyboard.
I'm not sure anyone predicts some sudden resurgences among laptop/desktop computers anyway (why would there suddenly be), rather that some (myself included) are skeptical that everyone's going to throw them all away to only use mobile phones/tablets. It's rather telling that PC usage is still ahead, despite mobile devices having been mainstream and low cost for years.
(Does my best-selling Asus Transformer Book count as a "PC" or a "mobile device, anyway? It's both.)

Funny, I uninstalled Facebook from my phone earlier.
I've grown tired of the app killing my battery life and the inane status updates from numpties.
You're next Linkedin...

Facebook was designed by students, set up by students, run by students and still has a basically "post what you like, we can't be arsed with this administration and security crap" student-project type mentality.
If you imagine your 12 year old kid being given control of a billion dollar web company then you start have the right attitude when you use it, that is you wouldn't trust your kids to make adult decisions with any of your personal info so don't trust Zuckerberg!
