Faith....

A lot of you must have already read, visited and experienced the phenomenon of Facebook, a social community based website. This company was founded by a Harvard student in 2004 and right now it is valued at around $12 billion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook
Isn't it amazing how a small concept can be so big...well in continuation to that check out about ConnectU http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ConnectU

In a nut shell

Owners of ConnectU (Divya Narendra, Cameron Winklevoss, and Tyler Winklevoss) filed a lawsuit against Facebook, alleging that Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, had stolen both concept and source code intended for a website they'd asked him to build for them. [1][2]

In November of 2003, ConnectU had engaged Mark Zuckerberg, then a sophomore at Harvard, to complete the computer programming for their website. Upon joining the ConnectU team, Zuckerberg was given complete unfettered access to the website code. Allegedly, Zuckerberg intentionally hampered the development of ConnectU while using code originally intended for ConnectU in the development of Facebook.

Not sure if this is true but it is sickening. Imagine it being false then your friend is trying to steal from your success and pushing you in legal problems. If it is true it is even more sickening. You believe on your friend and share your idea, concept, work & everything. And the guy exploits the idea and takes the complete credit.

I remember having discussions with friends in school and college, talking about various new ideas, products etc. We never really thought of copyright or patenting exercise. If this kind of incidents happen regularly, imagine how dramatic can be impact on our social lifestyle. People will not be able to talk freely or discuss on new ideas.

Have we lost the basic element of humanity...trust.

Once we think about the specification of the term really enjoy, not just in relations to an enchanting marriage with one more, but as being a experience that may be engendered for those who have miltchmonkey a much better association with yourself much too * as well as to be a sense of bigger unity with the fam or perhaps the human race , therefore it turns into a lot more superior that all any one needs in life is certainly like.
