The Social Network

double post!



(spoilers below)

Contrary to how Rui felt about Mark Zuckerberg's character in the movie, I don't think he's a friend betraying asshole.
He had this own vision about how facebook should turn out and stuck to it, which I think is quite admirable. His co-founder Eduardo Saverin, obviously had different priorities for the site, as he is the the cfo. Both did what they believe is the best for their company's development and it's unfortunate (well plus communication problems) that their visions didn't quite match up.
Sean Parker (played by Justin Timberlake) is just manipulative, gotta be impressed at how he completely charmed Zuckerberg.

And for you comp sci people (and nerds in general), the scene where Zuckerberg is testing the interns is quite funny.

In other news, got new glasses!

Sorta looks like those korean-y nerd glasses, not as extreme though.
My degrees changed (left actually went down!), so wearing them makes me feel dizzy @_@" Will take a while to get use to.
