Isn't the opening anecdote about Steve Jobs? I'm pretty sure there was a similar story in another recent article about Jobs.

Say what you will but it takes b*lls to leave $15 Billion in cash at Steve Ballmer's table.

Theres also a documentary on BBC 2 @ 9PM tonight about Zuckerberg, which sounds interesting.

Yes I read the same thing elsewhere. Also I stopped reading the article when it started to sound too much like propaganda.

It's not similar, it's literally the exact same story.

Also, who the hell would want to get photographed outside the Facebook offices? Do people really set out to visit Facebook HQ?

Of the many, many people using Facebook it's unsurprising that some tourists who were nearby thought it would be cool to get a picture infront of the Facebook sign. I'm sure the same goes for Google and other internet businesses.

Why is it considered that if you sell your company, you're not in it for the long run? I get that Mark doesn't love money but he's not doing FB for charity. I'm not sure why he didn't sell to Yahoo for $1B or to MS for $15B but the only thing I can guess is he wanted more (money?) out of it.
