Facebook Mengembangkan Smartphone Sendiri

Facebook Mengembangkan Smartphone Sendiri

FILE-readers sering dong bermain Facebook di aplikasi handphone kalian. Nah,tapi pernahkah FILE-readers membayangkan kalian mengakses Facebook melalui aplikasi Facebook, yang berjalan di ponsel buatan Facebook juga? Yupz, Facebook ternyata lagi berjuang keras untuk bisa membuat sebuah ponsel untuk penggemarnya. Dengan ini, Facebook berniat menjadi salah satu pemain penting di dunia ponsel, seperti halnya Apple, Samsung, Nokia, dll.
Untuk mendukung proyek ini, Facebook dikabarkan udah menyewa beberapa mantan developer perangkat lunak dan perangkat keras Apple yang sebelumnya bekerja untuk membangun iPhone, bahkan ada juga beberapa orang developer iPad. Para developer ini emang belum terlalu paham dengan proyek ini karena belum diberi penjelasan yang detail mengenai proyek ini, tapi salah satu mantan karyawan Apple mengaku bahwa dia benar-benar udah "diinterogasi" langsung oleh Zuckerberg mengenai smartphone.
Ketika ditanya mengenai hal ini, Facebook ga membantah maupun mengkonfirmasi. Mereka hanya menjawab "Kami sekarang lagi bekerja di industri selular dengan para operator, pembuat perangkat keras/device, penyedia OS dan pengembang aplikasi". Menurut kabar, Facebook akan meluncurkan ponselnya akhir tahun ini atau awal tahun depan.
Wow, kalo benar-benar terwujud dan sukses, mungkin nantinya semua kegiatan kita bakal berhubungan dengan Facebook.

Mark Zuckerberg's Good Week Gets Better

Mark Zuckerberg's Good Week Gets Better

Zuckerberg did not wear a hoodie, and, in a photo posted on his Facebook page, was wearing a dark blue suit and tie.

Chan dressed in a white gown, and had just graduated from medical school at the University of California, San Francisco last week. The AP reported that the guests were originally invited to a graduation celebration for Chan, but were surprised to learn that it was, in fact, a wedding.

Forbes’ Brian Caulfield first reported on Friday that Zuckerberg seemed to be preparing for a party at his five-bedroom, five-and-a-half bathroom home in the Bay Area suburb. On Friday, a truck from Hartmann Studios, a thirty-year old company is known for staging high-end weddings, fundraisers, and corporate events, was parked in the driveway of the home.

According to David Kirkpatrick‘s book, The Facebook Effect, Zuckerberg met Chan while in line to use the bathroom at a Harvard University party. The pair dated on and off again in college, but maintained a relationship as the Facebook CEO rose in prominence in the technology world.

Zuckerberg, whose Facebook stake is worth about $16.9 billion, rang the bell from his company’s Menlo Park, Calif.-based headquarters yesterday to announce Facebook’s first day of trading on the Nasdaq. The IPO price was set at $38 dollars, and the social networking company’s stock price closed on Friday at $38.23.
