I’ve been meaning to talk about The A-Team for a couple of weeks by now, but I’ve been too busy working on my super-secret Facebook application, amongst doing other things. But just so I don’t go too long without posting something, I’ll post a link to this AT&T 4G video: Every time I see this [...]

The Social Network (2010) To this day, I’m still not quite sure why the creator of Facebook is a billionaire. First of all, the company only became profitable a year ago.
