Facebook being hacked?

Today, in my Facebook inbox, I got a message from my friend saying that I have to forward/send the message to other 15 users or my account will get deleted. At the end of the message, the name showed that the writer is the founder of Facebook, Mr Zuckerberg. I now wonder do I really have to send the message to other people, or it's just that some prank mail.

OCntent of the message:
"Facebook is recently becoming very overpopulated,there have been many members
complaining that Facebook is becoming very slow. Records show that the reason is
that there are too many non-active Facebook members and, on the other side, too
many new Facebook members.

We will be sending this message around to see if members are active or not. If
you are active please send to at least 15 other users using Copy+ Paste to show
that you are still active. *Those who do not send this message within 2 weeks
will be deleted without hesitation to create more space.*

Send this message to all your friends and to show me that you're still active and
you will not be deleted.

Founder of Facebook,
Mark Zuckerberg "

Eddie's Consumer Report: Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Today, I went to Fnac to get a copy of the new Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
And please, Mac don't suck ok? People thinks Mac sucks because they've either never tried it or only tried it for less than a day. But people that stick with Mac will know that not only is it 150% more stable than the Windows, but also very user-friendly.
Originally, my Macbook with Leopard took 1 minute to start up and 22 seconds to shutdown (godly speed compared to the school Lenovo craps), and now after installing Snow Leopard, guess what? Took me 25 seconds to start up and 15 seconds to shutdown. And you see? just base on this point, a Mac is already worth buying.
Imagine yourself with a Windows, a Window PC that is at least 1 year old will take you 2 minutes to start up, and adding around 25 seconds to that every year on. I believe lots of people think this is a major flaw of Windows too. But a Mac has no problem like such, do not say MAC sucks unless you've truely used it for a long period. Because Mac is definitely more stable and user-friendly than the Old Shitty Windows, by the way, Mac is Virus-Free :) .

Google Wave. The next Facebook

Google's latest product: Google Wave, combines communication, collaboration, and media-sharing into one insanely useful app. Wave was released on Monday as the inventors Lars and Jens Rasmussen announced their new innovation on the Surf's Up media conference. The app basically combines all the past available individual Google features and transform and combine it into one app that makes all your necessary Google related tasks accessible through one single app. And the interface looks just like Facebook, except much more creatively and conveniently programed. I believe this will be the next Facebook as the number of Google Wave gained over 8,000% since 4 days ago. But I still think Facebook is enough for us, after the over popularity of tumblr for the last few weeks, social networking had become quite disorganize and inconvenient, so please people, stick with just one social network. Go GOOGLE WAVE! (as GOOG shall continue it's "bull"-ification. LONG LIVE GOOGLE WAVE!

We'll be Back Onto the Moon

At US time 4:31 a.m. Pacific time (7:31 a.m. Eastern time), one piece of the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, LCROSS, slammed into the bottom of a crater at 5,600 miles per hour, excavating about 350 metric tons of the moon and leaving behind a hole about 65 feet wide, 13 feet deep. (from NYTimes)

so now i suppose we'll be back on the track of exploring the Moon....because there is claimed to be hydrogen down the craters....

hola!...moon aliens!
