			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>There were not many people knew about the twins Winklevoss before the movie &#8220;The Social Network&#8221;&#8230;</h4>
<p>Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss was the twins who accused Mark Zuckerberg of stealing the ide to Facebook.<br />
The twins Winklevoss and Mark Zuckerberg,  made a settlement in 2008, and the twins Winklevoss got Facebook-Shares for $ 65 million.</p>
<p>They have appealed against the settlement afterwards, and argues that Facebook gave them false information about the value of the shares, according to the twins, the information about the company&#8217;s value has been exaggerated, and that they believed that the shares were worth four times more than the actual value, the also says that if they had known the true value, they had Never sign the sattelment, and wanted the court to tear up the contract.</p>
<p>Judge Alex Kozinski rejected the request, and wrote in his report, <em>&#8220;The Brothers Winklevoss is not the first to be outsmarted by a competitor and then by legal battles trying to win back what they lost in the market&#8221;</em> and rejected the request.<br />
The judge also noted that the twins had highly paid lawyers and their father, who shall be an expert in valuation.</p>
<p>It remains to be seen whether this was now the last &#8220;fight&#8221; between Mark Zuckerberg and the twins Winklevoss</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>There have new been rumors that Facebook is about to enter the Chinese market&#8230;</h4>
<p>Such rumors have we heard several times over the past three years, but this time the information is from more than one reliable industry sources.</p>
<p>Rumors also say that the agrement between Facebook and China have been made ​​up, that it will be a closed Facebook just for China, so if you expect to finnerly be able to get your Chinese friend as FB-friends, forget it, The Chinese version of Facebook will not be linked with the rest of the site.</p>
<p>Marbridge Consulting** said they had also heard from several industry sources, that Facebook will work with Baidu in the new China site<br />
According to <a href="http://techrice.com/" target="_blank">Tech Rice</a>, will the cooperation with Baidu, China&#8217;s largest search engine, be worth $ 50 billion.</p>
<p>We just have to wait and see if there is any truth to this rumor, this time. But given that how the Chinese government&#8217;s censorship of the Internet working, I do not think that Facebook will reach a large audience in China.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>How will future communications look like?</h4>
<p>Mobile giant <a href="http://www.att.com/" target="_blank">AT &amp; T&#8217;s</a> chief technology officer <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_J._Donovan" target="_blank">John Donovan</a> believes he has the answer and says that a revolution that will make your brand new iPad into a museum piece is not far away.<br />
- Smart phones and surf boards will not be necessary in 2020, &#8220;he says.</p>
<p>Donovan, chief technology officer of the U.S. telecom giant AT &amp; T, predicts that a new technology revolution, moments and all the necessary data will shortly be stored online and accessible from any device. According to Donovan, the consequence that today&#8217;s innovations such as surf boards and smart phones will be considered old-fashioned as early than 2020.</p>
<p>Instead, we will be able to use almost any wireless device at any time, perhaps a television set, to make calls, send messages or connect to social networks like Facebook and Twitter.<br />
The user can specify a password or fingerprint, thereby reaching all of their stored information.<br />
- Software will converge, devices will disappear and we will have fewer units that belong to us.<br />
- I do not see the need to carry around a separate unit when I visit you in your house. I borrow the one you have and authenticates me on, &#8220;says Donovan</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Google&#8217;s outgoing CEO Eric Schmidt is disappointed that Nokia chose Microsoft as a partner.</h4>
<p>Around the same time he acknowledges Bill Gates&#8217;s creation as the main competitor in the foreseeable future.<br />
- At present and for a long time, Microsoft is our main competitor. There is no doubt about it, &#8220;says Google&#8217;s outgoing CEO Eric Schmidt.</p>
<p>He will soon hand over as CEO to one of Google&#8217;s two founders &#8211; Larry Page &#8211; and himself take a step back from the light as chairman. But at the Mobile World Congress takes Eric Schmidt good time to answer questions from the large public. Perhaps to compensate for its otherwise unusual closed-communication policy.</p>
<p>Eric Schmidt comments on Bill Gates word for for 21 years ago: &#8220;Information at your fingertips&#8221;.  Was entirely correct. But it has taken this long for technology to get there.<br />
At same time that Eric Schmidt celebrates the visionary genius of Bill Gates and Microsoft he also says that Facebook and Twitter is not a competition to Google and in the same time he praises both Facebook and Twitter for there contributions to social networking.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Buzz</strong><br />
There was no bigger buzz surrounding Google&#8217;s try to challenger Twitter. After a launch, which was lined with issues surrounding user privacy, this was never any successes.<br />
<strong>Apple Ping</strong><br />
Apple succeeds with almost everything it takes for itself in recent times. Almost. The social music service, Ping, did not to success. A social network that only works in iTunes, and have not led to greater usage.<br />
<strong>Google Wave</strong><br />
Google Wave was supposed to revolutionize how we communicate with each other. The service was a mix of email and chat, almost no one understood how it could be used. Google Wave was closed just three months after launch.<br />
<strong>Privacy on Facebook</strong><br />
Despite Facebook&#8217;s rapid growth the company has big problems to protect user privacy. The  service has also been hit by several incidents and bugs that made it  possible for third parties to collect private information about users.<br />
<strong>McAfee&#8217;s False Alarm</strong><br />
Security  company McAfee did a smash gaffe when released an update to one of  their programs, that rated as a system file in Windows as malicious. The  result: thousands of Windows computers crashed and the users had  serious problems getting the computer to function normally again.<br />
<strong>Palm Pre and WebOS</strong><br />
Palm hoped that Palm Pre and its operating systems, WebOS, would be a worthy contender to the iPhone. Sales have unfortunately gone so bad that most analysts do not even mention Palm Pre in their reports.<br />
<strong>Surf Boards with Android</strong><br />
2010 was the year when surfing on Android-plates would take over. Even so, Apple iPad dominated sales, accounting for 95 percent of the market. The only real challenger is Samsung Galaxy Tab.<br />
<strong>Iphone 4 Antennagate</strong><br />
Whether  antenna problems Iphone 4 are justified or not, but Apple has a snap on  the nose that shows how much the company&#8217;s customers expect from its  products.<br />
<strong>White Iphone 4</strong><br />
After months of promises from Apple, it has still not been a white model of Iphone 4th The latest bid is that it will be released sometime this spring. It might be better to drop the plans completely and instead go for a white model of the iPhone 5<br />
<strong>Microsoft Kin</strong><br />
Microsoft attempts to create a socially mobile phone was doomed from the start. The only thing you could call &#8220;socially&#8221; was that you could use facebook on the phone. Microsoft Kin was closed just six weeks after launch.</p>
