Yeah, definitely everyone feels bad for Eduardo. I disagree with the whole "victims who have been traumatized and abused by Mark Zuckerberg." Really? He's not a villain, he's a young man with a great mind that saw an opportunity and took it. He literally revolutionized a society, and of course there's going to be obstacles.
I wouldn't have put my two cents in about this post, but then I saw, "But then again, facebook was never really his idea."
So, I have to give my opinion. Lets say you're an artist Cassandra, and I'm a talentless wealthy man that wants to purchase a painting to put into my pantry where nobody will ever see it. So, I come to you, give you no money, and say paint me an apple please...it's for my pantry. So, you, the talented artist that you are decide to say eff the apple, I'm going to draw a loom of fruit, and the apple is going to be the centerpiece, but it's gonna be a green apple, and it's going to be golden, with a whole here and there too. So, you decided that hey, this man never has done anything for me, never paid me money, and i altered the original apple into this beautiful masterpiece i'd now like to keep for myself. Essentially, what I'm getting at is there's a difference between inspiration and starting an idea to being talented enough to develop such a thing. If that paining had ended up in the pantry it wouldn't be worth more than $100, but Cassandra, you sold that painting for billions of dollars because you're not only an amazing artist, but a great business woman that knows how to add intrinsic value to items, and now I deserve some of that profit...for telling you to draw me an apple.
The kid that commented about 'do you know that girl, is she dating anyone' is he the creator of relationship status' on facebook, and should be given millions too now? No, Zuckerberg put in the time, thought, coding, inspiration, and talent needed to create such a thing, and everyone else is just coming along for the ride--once again, minus Eduardo who wasn't doing his job by the way....
