Zuckerberg: Non-Evil Non-Genius? Mark Zuckerberg Hates His New Facebook Privacy Policy, Too. WE DO NOT WANT "Friends of Friends" To 'Add' us as a Friend'!!! Since your roll-out we have been bombarded with Friend Requests. WE DO NOT WANT "Friends of Friends" to see our Picture or Add us. This is unfair to those of us who tend to stay on the conservative side and Cannot outright "Ignore" requests for professional or other reasons. Moreover, there are now security concerns for some people. Our profile used to be unclickable and not even have a hyperlink when messaging or posting on a friend's wall - just plain text... Now taking away our right to choose whether we allow people to see us and "Add as a friend" or be able to click on our profile has caused us professional and private jeopardy.
We are at this moment considering deleting our account altogether and sending our friends an email to let them know how to contact us in the future and our reasons for doing so.

I had never met the man even once in my life, and I had certainly never been the beneficiary of his unparalleled personal fortune in any direct sense. I had, of course, used his company's software, and throughout high school had even become something of an expert on its staggeringly pervasive glitches. This collection of arcane computer knowledge, not to mention a general obsession with technology, led to my starting a business called Think Computer that I incorporated as a high school freshman.
Starting a company at a young age is to say the least, unusual, and so fitting the hobby I enjoyed so much into the form of a college application essay without sounding overzealous or pretentious initially proved difficult. My high school guidance counselor suggested that my essay reveal something about myself through a short anecdote. After stopping mid-way through my first draft, I took her advice.
I could not deny that it seemed appropriate in a narrow sense. Trent Reznor: Zuckerberg Should Not Be Mentioned In The Same Breath As Steve Jobs.
