Mark Zukerberg is the founder and CEO of Facebook, an extremely popular social working website that started in the United States.
Now, millions of student users visit Facebook daily and the website is one of the top ten most widely visited sites on the internet worldwide. College and high school students use Facebook to communicate with friends and share both information and pictures for free. The company earns money through advertising.
Many other companies have been rumored(谣传) to be interested in buying Facebook. Just a few years after Mark started the company, he was approached by Terry Semel, who was the CEO of Yahoo. Terry offered Mark one billion dollars ($1,000,000,000) to sell Facebook to Yahoo. Mark said no, though. He stands behind his dreams at the very beginning. He knows the value of the company could fall down; however, he is in this to build something unbelievable, not be bought out by another company.
Maybe he was smart. Now Facebook is rumored to be worth billions of dollars and bigger companies like Microsoft or Google want a share of the company. Some private firms are also interested. Facebook could sell 15 billion dollars if Mark decides to sell it at all. Perhaps Mark will just keep working from his California office to continue his dream of building something cool.

A mobile phone service which makes your handset scream when it’s been stolen has been started, with its makers claiming it could put an end to mobile theft altogether.

The Remote XT system uses software to link customers’ mobile phones directly to a secure remote server, which stores all their data from phone numbers to text messages and e-mails. If the owner’s phone is lost or stolen, they can dial a 24-hour call centre and have it registered. The handset is then disabled, and cannot even be used if a new SIM card is put in. At the same time, the system sets off an alarm sounding like a high-pitched（尖声的）scream, which can only be stopped by removing the battery.

Existing data is also wiped off the phone but, because the information has been stored centrally,                               as soon as the victim gets a news phone, the system designers said.

“By making mobiles unusable to anyone but the rightful owner the phones become worthless and we will see the market for stolen handsets stopped once and for all,” said Mark Whiteman, managing director of Remote XT. For the moment the system is aimed at business customers and comes with a fee of 9. 99 pounds per month, possibly available to the majority of average users within two years as mobile technology advances.

According to the latest UK government statistics, mobile phone theft has risen 190 percent in recent years, with one third of all UK robberies now solely involving mobile phones.
