Mark Zuckerkberg...$7 million-dollar home reminiscent of Osama bin Laden's compound?





 
 
Is it just me, or is Mark Zuckerberg's spanking new mansion somewhat reminiscent of slain Osama bin Laden's luxury digs in Pakistan?
 
With the exception of the pool, of course! 


Paddling about a pool in a flowing robe makes the recreational leisure past-time tough - even for an expert swimmer - after all.

The upscale property in Palo Alto has that certain shabby secluded aura about it that reminds me of the sprawling compound where the former Al Qaeda leader was serviced by his five accommodating wives.
 
Do you suppose Mark has a few bottles of virility boosters around the house, too, or are the big buck dividends that flow daily into the coffers enough to trigger an adrenalin rush and the libido of the single twenty-six-year old?
 
Valued at $13.5 billion, and now a recongized-on-sight celebrity made famous by the Oscar-winning film The Social Network, Zuckerberg is quite the catch.

Curiously, that!
 
Although the flick explored a myriad of aspects of the Facebook CEO's life, there wasn't even a hint or two about his sexual yearnings or his demanding tastes between-the-sheets.
 
Does the young stud like it missionary-style, for instance?
 
On the other hand, Doggie-style might be up his alley, too.
 
Who knows!
 
The restored upscale home boasts 5,617 square feet and rests on a 17,100 square-foot plot.
 
The investment property include five bedrooms, five and a half baths, a banquet-size dining room, a music alcove and glassed-in porch.
 
The backyard is a bachelor's virtual (!) playground, natch, and features a saltwater pool, a spa, an outdoor gazebo with a wood-burning fireplace, and a carport.
 
Like Osama's infamous pad, the retreat is shielded from nosy neighbors and lookie loo's with a high wall.

Pretty Citrus trees line the edge of the Zuckerberg estate, too.
 
The tony neighborhood - known as Crescent Park - is comprised mainly of median single-family homes which sell for an average of $1.9 million.

Public records have established that the deal closed in mid-March.

And, aht the hush-hush sale, was conducted through a third party LLC.

Obviously, if those Winklevoss twins win a court judgment eventually, it will be tough placing a lien on the Zuckerberg Castle.

Smart dude!

Do you suppose he paid cash-on-the-barrel or in Facebook overvalued stock?

President Obama...to meet with techies in San Francisco!




President Obama will be jetting into the Bay Area today to meet with techie execs in San Francisco.

Obama is expected to reveal his plans for his 3.7 Trillion-dollar budget.

Handlers have hinted that Obama's discussions will focus on the economy and job creation.

Obama has taken the position the his financial aid package - which includes funding for education and research - will help the U.S. remain competitive in the world marketplace if implemented.

Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), among others, is slated to sit in on the President's meeting which is a closed-door affair not open to the press.

I trust the Prez snatched up an overcoat and umbrella before he embarked on Air Force one since he'll have to brave torrential rains that have descended on San Francisco today.

Unless the Secret Service intend to shield him from unpredictable weather conditions, too.

Later!

Facebook...terms of use changed in wake of protests!



When FACEBOOK announced in a press release the other day that terms of use at the interactive social hub were being changed - and that content on the web site would be viewed as the property of the site providers - a thought crossed my mind.



"Oh, oh! Folks ain't gonna like that."



Curiously, over the past few days, I haven't heard a peep out of a multitude of Facebook-savvy "friends".



Have they been holding back on their "secret passionate thoughts" for fear FACEBOOK staff will squirrel 'em away for future posterity?



On the heels of that startling news - and the uproar that erupted thereafter on the blogosphere and throughout civilized parts of the known world - FACEBOOK did an about - um - face!



Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg assured concerned FACEBOOK members that the company was revising its policies this week in respect to the "Governing Document" which dictates the terms of use.



Feedback from the 170 million or so users at the trendy Internet watering hole is welcome, the pimply-faced CEO was quick to note for the record.



Some breathed a sigh of relief.



A content of a post on Zuckerberg's blog - during the throes of the controversy in recent days - disturbed die-hard fans, after all.



The chief's pollyanna attitude - "just trust us" - didn't fly with many!



But, there was a silver lining to the whole fiasco.



In the aftermath of the avalanche of protests, FACEBOOK has taken up the arduous task of zealously crafting a spirited "Bill of Rights" to facilitate the sharing of information in the future.



"We need a license in order to help share information with your friends, but we don't claim to own your information."



The way the unexpected "take over" of data came down - and was summarily abandoned by virtue of a hasty retreat - remains highly suspect to a posse of industry-insiders.



Harvard Professor Harry Lewis - who teaches in the field of Computer Science - was in accord with analysts who opined on the issue.



"People will have legitimate suspicions until they see the result."



Something tells me - no matter how the issue is ultimately resolved by FACEBOOK - that Big Brother is still watching.



Welcome to an Internet version of George Orwell's 1984.
