"Wilson said he was surprised to learn recently that his two college-age daughters, who had grown up during Facebook's early years, are actually infrequent Facebook users. Instead, they're using other social-networking sites, such as Instagram and Foursquare." - Mitchell Tsai from Bookmarklet

One evening while he was having dinner with his teenage son, he noticed that his son took a picture of his meal and posted it on Instagram. Wilson asked him why he didn't post this particular photo to Facebook. And his son said he didn't think his 2,000 Facebook friends would appreciate the post. But he said his much smaller group of Instagram followers, who all post pictures of what they eat and where they go, would be interested in the photo. - Mitchell Tsai

Oakley's most famous trick is perhaps being able to repeatedly split a playing card, edge-on, and put several more holes in it before it could touch the ground, while using a .22 caliber rifle, at 90 feet. - Mitchell Tsai from Bookmarklet

I just watched a wonderful documentary on Annie Oakley on TV. - Mitchell Tsai

Earth’s tidal forces have slowed down Moon’s rotation so that it always presents one side to us. The other side, although receiving as much light as the front side, is called the far (or, more poetically, dark) side of the Moon, notably giving the name to one of Pink Floyd’s most successful albums. - Mitchell Tsai from Bookmarklet

In the 30-second video, you can see Moon’s heavily cratered, rough surface; notable sights include Moon’s north pole, the 560-mile-wide Mare Orientale impact basin and, near the bottom of the screen, the 93-mile-wide Drygalski crater. - Mitchell Tsai

1st time in a regular room. Last time I came with a friend, and upgraded to a suite for a $20 tip. - Mitchell Tsai

Both Cache Creek & Thunder Valley rooms have tiny refrigerators (yay!), but no microwaves/stoves (boos). Both have fancy coffee makers which can make hot water though. - Mitchell Tsai

Manual FriendFeed posts do show up at Facebook. - Mitchell Tsai

3 FriendFeed bookmarklets showed up together in a mini-box. (and bookmarklet posts older than the latest 3 disappear). It would be nice if they looked as large as regular posts. Even better if the pictures would be as large as the regular Facebook posts. - Mitchell Tsai

She is Facebook's 42-year-old Chief Operating Officer. According to the S-1 filing, Sandberg has 1,899,986 shares of Facebook common stock. She also holds 39,321,041 options and restricted stock units which haven't yet vested. - Mitchell Tsai from Bookmarklet

Oprah would still be the wealthiest self-made woman with a net worth of $2.7 billion. But Sandberg could nudge out Meg Whitman, who is worth an estimated $1.3 billion. - Mitchell Tsai

Norbert Wiener, authored an influential book entitled “Cybernetics.” Mr. Wiener separated human responses to new challenges into two types: ontogenetic and phylogenetic. Ontogenetic activities are organized and carried out through centrally designed institutions to shape the development of society. The phylogenetic response, on the other hand, is evolutionary. It is analogous to the way bacteria behave in mutual interaction without organizational oversight. - Mitchell Tsai from Bookmarklet

The easy scalability of the Internet makes it perhaps the most powerful phylogenetic invasion of the body politic in recent times. Bill Davidow, in his book, “Overconnected: the Promise and Threat of the Internet,” talks about how the Internet’s “hyper-connection” can spread “contagions” like pandemics. The Internet is not an unmitigated force for good. It can also do harm to human society. - Mitchell Tsai

(1) It is extremely profitable. In 2011, it brought in revenues of $3.7bn and had an operating income (the profit after you subtract day-to-day costs, but before taxes) of $1.7bn. Its net income for that year was $1bn - giving it a 27% net margin. For comparison, most physical businesses have net margins of between 5% - 10%. - Mitchell Tsai from Bookmarklet

The company's research and development expenses ballooned last year to $114 million in 2011 from $9 million in 2010, primarily due to growth in employee head count and equity compensation. Facebook's costs and expenses are going up faster than revenue. It employs 3,200 as of December, up from 2,172 a year earlier. - Mitchell Tsai

So far, enthusiasm for the idea has reportedly generated modest annual profits for Facebook of around $1bn, or just over $1 per user per year. Mr Zuckerberg will need to exploit – or “monetise” in Silicon Valley jargon – his users much more effectively to justify the up to $100bn valuation the first tranche of shares is expected to confer on them. - Mitchell Tsai

Some even believe that the deal — which even with reports of a scaled-back valuation of below $100 billion — would be one of the largest tech IPOs to date and could rival the 1995 offering of Netscape in importance. - Mitchell Tsai from Bookmarklet

Netscape also set the trend for the young, unprofitable Internet company going public. It was only 16 months old, unprofitable, and had 250 employees at the time of its IPO. - Mitchell Tsai

Valuations for U.S. equities have been stuck below the five-decade average for the longest period since Richard Nixon’s presidency, a sign investors don’t trust earnings even after a three-year bull market. - Mitchell Tsai from Bookmarklet

“In the 1970s, low P/Es were accompanied by high inflation and high interest rates,” Nick Sargen. “That’s obviously not the case today, where the culprit is uncertainty about the global economy and financial system.” - Mitchell Tsai

Bioluminescence, the ability of certain organisms to produce light—including some bacteria and fungi, fireflies, glowworms and many types of fish—is the subject of a fascinating and innovative exhibit at the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) created by artist Shih Chieh Huang http://ocean.si.edu/ocean-v... (September 3, 2011—January 8, 2012) - Mitchell Tsai from Bookmarklet

New York-based Huang is known for his unique installations that merge everyday items and electronic components with air and water to create interactive organic-like environments and sculptures. Through a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship, Huang spent two months in 2007 at the NMNH where he was able to interact with scientists and study the museum’s collection of bioluminescent sea creatures. - Mitchell Tsai

Noelle DuBois (stage name of Noelle Marie-Anne Grey) is a thoughtful, composed young woman. In her bold glasses, she looks like the prototypical sexy librarian. At once exotic and demure, she is also dead serious about acting. That said, she has no formal training. But there has hardly been time: she only began auditioning in the last year. During that period, she landed a lead in the new Cinemax series Forbidden Science, playing Dr. Penny Serling, head of a large corporation’s engineering and cyber-tech division. - Mitchell Tsai from Bookmarklet

Forbidden Science was a hit at the recent Comic Con convention in New York, having built a following of young female viewers all across the U.S. See also http://ff.im/Q6rh2 - Mitchell Tsai
