Facebook IPO slipping down a hill

The initial hype of Facebook Inc starting to trade on the market is soon going to wear off as people realize that what they bought for $37 per share is now (as of 11:03 Wednesday (GMT)) worth just $31 per share ( in the red -3.03 (-8.9%) from opening) 


I have no doubt that after a year or 2 the price might rise back up but for the short term investors who where looking to make a quick buck i think they were counting there chicks before they hatched (i never understood why some people say "counting there eggs before they hatch".... of course you can count your eggs, if you have 5 eggs you have 5 eggs, doesn't mean your gonna have 5 chicks!)


Still it netted Zuckerberg $1,134,916,000... not bad for a days work

Internet Explorer no longer most-used browser in the world

Interesting how Chrome has gone from strength to strength, i personally use (and LOVE) Firefox

For the first week in history, Google Chrome is the most-used browser in the world, according to Statcounter. While Chrome has been leapfrogging the incumbent Internet Explorer on weekends for some time now, the week of May 14th–20th marks the first time Chrome has averaged a higher traffic share over a full seven-day stretch.

[BUSINESS] Starting a business

I've decided that I’m going to try and start a business. I'm going to document the journey as part of this blog, something that I can read back on later and for those aspiring to create a start up; perhaps you can throw in advice and other inputs. Maybe even learn from the mistakes I make :P

While I won't divulge what the business is about just yet, I will tell you it is Technology orientated. Future blogs about the business will have [BUSINESS] in the title (as above) for easy recognition.

Greeks apologise with huge horse [Funny]

In theory these would still fit

THE nation of Greece said sorry to the European Union with a present of an enormous wooden horse.

Left outside the European Central Bank in the dead of night, the horse has now been moved into the ECB’s central lobby where it is proudly on display.

A gift tag attached to the horse, which is surprisingly light for its size and has small holes along the length of its body, suggested that it should be placed in the bank’s vaults overnight to avoid it being targeted by thieves.

Mario Draghi, President of the ECB, said: “How nice of the Greeks to acknowledge the trouble we’ve been put to on their behalf with this wonderful horse, handmade and so large it could hold a dozen double-decker buses.

“The card with it, which had a teddy bear dressed as a hobo on the front, explained that Greece made us this because they don’t have enough money for a present, which brought a tear to my eye.

“Nonetheless, unless they can somehow find €200 billion overnight then austerity measures must continue.”

 Oddly, Greek representatives in Brussels have hinted that they may soon be in a position to settle their debts and have puzzled the French and German banks that hold their loans by asking if there is any discount for cash.

The government of Spain has reacted angrily to the gift, accusing the Greeks of trying to bribe the ECB and redoubling their own efforts to weave a gigantic sombrero-wearing straw donkey.

Dropbox

I'm usually quite late to pick up on new sites and that (i still hate Twitter (@VMarquall) for example)

However i am a huge fan of a awesome site called Dropbox.

It basically allows me to upload any of my files to the cloud and then when i need them again i can jsut log in and d/l'ed them to a different computer. No USB required! You get 2 gb of space and  if you use the shiny referal you get an extra 500mb :P

Check it out, you can also get a mobile and desktop app (for drag and drop uploading)
