Zuckerberg Purchses The World

Zuckerberg Purchases The World

By; Heather Park, Vivian Lou, Heather Rattray


Just two weeks ago, Mark Zuckerberg’s big enterprise social network, Facebook, took control of the iPhone Application, Instagram. Just today, Good Morning America announced that Zuckerberg has taken the next step and bought Google, Hotmail, and Microsoft Windows Technology Co. In his most recent interview, he confessed that his “next big goal is to buy Apple and Sony to combine and make the best social network and social networking devices in history.” (New York Times)
 
On the topic of Instragram, the majority of Zuckerberg’s supporters feel that it was a beneficial move to the development of social networking. “And it was like only like a billion dollars, like it could have been like more. It was like such a good like buy ‘cause it’s like worth like that much, like gosh!” reports a Facebook employee of the headquarters in Palo Alto, CA.

Instagram allows you to post photographs to your Facebook Timeline with very interesting filters that make you seem like a professional photographer. For example, with this improvement, you will be able to share pictures of mundane activities in your life, such as going to the bathroom, putting on mascara, or stubbing your toe on the coffee table, all in a very sophisticated manner. Instagram and Facebook combined have an infinite number of uses.

Clearly, Zuckerberg is a very skilled economizer. His company’s capital income is one of the largest grossing in the United States of America. With the purchase of these new top-notch sites and companies (Google, Hotmail, and Microsoft), he has only expended a mere thirty billion dollars from his company’s income.  This 2010 Man of the Year states, “I figure I spend as much on coffee. It’s not a really big deal, you know.” His new plan is to connect Google and Hotmail by re-creating them into Facebook applications, all to improve your stocking experience. From the introduction on the Facebook website, “Your Facebook friends will always be notified when you search a simple thing on the new Google App, or open an email from the new Hotmail App.” Also, in the near future, Microsoft Windows Technology Co. will be the suppliers of computers that have one sole function: Facebook.

Not only has he only spent one billion dollars to keep Twitter from getting his prized Instagram, he will also be dropping another billion on his new project, Petbook. Petbook, a branch of Facebook, will involve a new social network site, dedicated to the house pets of America. He has already created a draft account for his dog, Beast (his profile picture is a professional studio photograph of the Hungarian sheepdog). 

Through this means, our social life as human beings will be improved greatly by this new Facebook combination. Everyone will be capable of communicating more efficiently. The world will be full of the sharing of all information with a single website. Zuckerberg is certainly a man of immense power. We can only sit back and admire his work. Society will be greatly improved with this new transformation, credited to the creator of Facebook.

The Unfortunate Events Of A West Van Girl

The Unfortunate Events Of A West Van Girl

By; Heather Park


                One morning a west van girl wakes up and she does not wake up feeling like P-Diddy. She then continues to search for her newest Apple iPhone, but breaks down to tears because the battery life has gone down to 30% due to the fact that she could not locate her Mac charger, therefore she was not able to charge it. As she thinks that her day could not get worse, her already unevenly applied nail polish on her right index finger gets chipped exactly 0.227 millimetres as she is frantically attempting at straightening her platinum blonde hair extensions with her $2350 gold plated hair straightener.
                Later on in the day, as she is being driven to her prestigious private school in her father’s 2012 Aston Martin, the engine unfortunately falters. She is then forced to be driven to school by her Filipino nanny in her 2006 Honda Civic, with is nearly as low class as wearing clothing from Old Navy, or going to a public swimming pool. Once inside the car, she can smell the stench of old car on the seats, and the creaky seatbelts are like nails on a chalkboard to her ears. When it is finally time to exit the car in the parking lot, she feels so desperate that she could almost even put a paper bag over her head; but just almost.  
                Upon her entrance, the school is full of whispers and scrutinizing looks and glares. Tens of thousands of thoughts pop up in her head. She wonders if they saw her coming to school in her nanny’s 2006 Honda Civic, or if they had already noticed the 0.227mm chip on the nail of her right index finger. Or perhaps, there was something terribly sinful that she was wearing or doing, that she was yet oblivious of such as a slightly visible extension or maybe her teeth were not the correct shade of pearl. Just as her precious brain was on the verge of explosion, she overheard a few jocks whispering about her patch of skin on her left shoulder which was half a shade lighter than the rest of her otherwise flawless arm.
As soon as she realized this tragic fact, she bounded to the gold and crystal tiled restroom and broke down to tears. Although she wanted to spill two gallons of tears, but was forced to stop because her Dior mascara would run down her perfectly peachy cheeks. She would wait until she was driven, hopefully in her daddy’s Aston Martin back home, and then tweet about her tragic happenings through her Mac, which her nanny would have charged.
