'I am not a lizard' Zuckerberg proclaims in public Q&A Mark Zuckerberg has denied that he is a lizard during an hour-long Q&A session online, when questions from the internet got a bit silly – who'd have thought it. "I'm gonna have to go with 'no' on that. I am not a lizard," he said in response to an online question. "But keep the high-quality comments coming in please, this is …
>Zuck explained his plans to run a Facebook feed direct from the brain and right into the world's frontal lobes. He said that virtual reality was the next logical step for Facebook, with the intention of letting others experience what a user does as directly as possible.
I'll let my mum know, but doubt she'll have much interest in either feature.
The Seinfeld section is unintentional comedy gold. Jerry tries in vain to establish that Mark has some humanity in him and all the latter can do is burble on about techno toys. When Jerry asks Mark to ask him a question you can see the panic in Mark's eyes. Er, what? Interact with a human? About something normal? Fzzt! Buzz! Does not compute! He ends up with "what did you eat for breakfast?"
If that doesn't prove that he is a Lizard Overlord, I don't know what does!

All companies eventually turn senile and can no longer innovate, or even acquire start-ups and successfully integrate them.
Facebook is at that stage now, so all this talk about AI bots and VR is complete nonsense.
Zuck may as well say "Facebook is planning to build a lunar base in the next 5 years".
Well no you're not, because your company is a spent force. Just milk the facebook users until they age out of the system, then live on forever as a zombie husk of a company, like Yahoo and AOL.
Zuck explained his plans to run a Facebook feed direct from the brain and right into the world's frontal lobes. He said that virtual reality was the next logical step for Facebook, with the intention of letting others experience what a user does as directly as possible.
Why do I find this scarier than either of the two front runners for President? Or even the Daesh? Why would I want to experience what an FB'er does? This goes beyond the privacy debate. It smacks of things way beyond the average TLA's wet dream of control.
It sounded WAY cool in William Gibson novel, but when Zuck says it, it's creepy as hell.
Actually Zuck simply is creepy. It's like he's being controlled by a malevolent AI. He talks like reading from a script, but when the AI isn't controlling him he just looks dead-eye. Maybe that's just psychopathy.

There was never anything even remotely compelling about your site that made me start to think 'hey, this is a cool idea, why don't I sign up for it now'.
The same applies even more today.
I don't want the world (and especially the Ad agencies) knowing more about me than they already do so yours and all other (anti-)social media sites are just not on my radar.
With you losing active users, you really do need to think long and hard about what your site is about now and the future.
Go on, be brave. Do like what the owners of 'FriendsReuinted' did, close it down. Facebook is an idea whose time has passed. Just admit it and then get on with your life.

... infact anyone or any group whose name begins with a "B". There's a guy who lives down our street called Brian - I bet he's one too.
~ Facebag constantly scans & watches what you're doing, no matter how trivial. Regardless of whether you're logged-in, regardless of whether you're a registered user. That sounds an awful lot like a Peeping-Tom to me...
~ Zuk constantly slurps and pimps your data off to the highest bidder. Trafficking your data across borders, without any effective permission or oversight. Isn't that what a Pimp does?
~ Zuk preaches about 'Connecting the World'. But what that really means is connecting you to the all-seeing 'Eye' of Advertisers & Intelligence-Agencies. Which I suppose means 'Connecting the World', if you're a total Psychopath...
