CEO Mark Zuckerberg's sister is known for her lipdubs, after all, those annoying ersatz music videos uploaded to the internet. She moved on to real music when her ad-hoc Open Source Band played a recent Silicon Valley fundraiser. And now this performance, which nicely leverages her social network's prominence into more attention for the accused social climber. "The voice of social networking!" one critic raves. By that standard, we could do far worse than Zuckerberg. But that ain't saying much.

After 112 days on the run, Craig 'Lazie' Lynch—who escaped prison, then taunted the cops on Facebook—has been caught. We will miss him, the man who looked the social-media panopticon in the eye, then raised his middle finger.

It would seem our conspiracy theory is coming true: Facebook's big push to give you "more control of your information" is actually an initiative to get you to give up control of your information. Step one: Frame greed as concern.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg issued an open letter to his 350+ million users; you probably saw it this morning when logging in. Facebook will kill regional networks like "New York." Why? To trick you.

Katie Couric made a list of the "most powerful" people in media for Forbes and they're all... Jews. Kidding, only six of 11 are Jews. The real power belongs to computer nerds. Couric mentioned zero old media people.
