Mark Zuckerberg launched an online empire from his dorm room at Harvard. Now four fellow students say he stole their idea.

In 2004, five students at Harvard were all racing to invent a social-networking site. After Mark launched Facebook from his dorm that February, classmates Cameron Winklevoss, Divya Narendra and Taylor Winklevose accused him of ripping off their idea. "WE GOT REALLY SCREWED."says Narendra. Another student, Aaron Greenspan, already had a site called TheFacebook.

The story begins when Taylor Brothers and Narendra hired Mark to code a social networking site they were creating. As the weeks dragged on, as the team tried to meet with Mark, he postponed, blaming his busy schedule. Zuckerberg, they claimed, not only stole their idea, he intensionally delayed work on their site so he could launch his first.

Zuckerberg, is crowned by Forbes as the world's youngest billionaire- a dentist's son worth an estimated $1.5 billion!

"If there is going to be another Bill Gates, Mark is as close to anyone." -Harvard's  former president LAWRENCE SUMMER

woah rajeshkc!!
take it easy brother.. i hope u didnt smack the screen after typing that comment

no shit!!!! Rajeshkc is on fire...wow

so  much productivity lost due to these sites like fbook, myspace, hi5. i mean i cud be doing my assignment on time or have more time to study for exams or read a book. i beleive workplaces face millions of $s in loses because of this

Yes you are right rajeshkc. I check it at least 10 times a day or more from my work. Waste of time and energy.

ya rajesh and I am sure u are doing genetic engineering to develop superman from camels or recreating Jesus to end iraq war. WTF do u think your work is worthy of, besides making comments on some creative ideas that make money. 

rajeshkc, you know what's more shitty? copying comments from other sites and pasting it around....but I must say it was a comment worth reading, thanks!! LOL

whatever it was humorous... i  laughed...

I am not sure about this news, may be its related but few months back another social networking connectu.com sued facebook and Mark Zuckerberg for stealing code from connectu.com . In that news, it was mentioned that Mark worked as intern for connectu.com but he used all the code to create his own thefacebook.com. I think Mark was just being lucky and little smart_ _ _.

I don't see any future of social networking. May be when Harvard's  former president LAWRENCE SUMMER said "If there is going to be another Bill Gates, Mark is as close to anyone.", he meant Mark stole code like Bill Gates stole idea and code from Apple. :)

lol ..simplelife haha ...so true!!

regarding facebook,
guy makes money and everyone wants a piece.

regarding rajeshkc's comment:

So many ******* idiots plagiarizing the same shitty comments, without crediting the source, using the mentioned
web 2.0 to further the usage of Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V on the same XML-bastardized Html that feeds their ends meat
all so to illusion us from noticing their pubescent copying skills and hackeyned idea which itself has ZERO reasoning and sounds akin to a  rant from a pubescent girl experiencing PMS.
