Facebook failed to pay the big money to Apple that they should have been paying for years. If Zuck had been handing Apple $5,000,000,000 per year as google does, then Apple would never have kneecapped Facebook. Larry and Sergei know how the

The new CEO does not impress with the killing off of jobs. Instead, he should have cut the price from a stupid $500 per ad to $50 per ad. Companies have money to spend on job ads, but not if it’s a $500 rip off price gouge. StackOverflow do
