Mark Zuckerberg says he asked Steve Jobs about how to build a high-quality team and great products, but denies Apple and Facebook ever talked about an acquisition. The revelations come as part of an in-depth interview between PBS’s Charlie Rose and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg. The extensive interview covers all of the bases, such as whether Facebook will ever build games (no, Zuck says) and what Zuckerberg thinks of Google+ (he calls it “their own little version of Facebook”).

Many computer users, specially the programmers, need to launch a command prompt window every once in a while to execute some dos/shell commands. The problem is, when a command prompt window launched, the default path is normally the system path or the user profile's path. The users will then have to do all the "cd" commands to change the directories to the path he/she wants.
This trick shows you how to add an option called "Command Prompt" when you right-click on a folder in Windows. With this option, a Command Prompt Window will launch and its current directory will be the path to the folder you've selected.
Use this trick at your own risk.

This trick shows you how to share your internet connections on multiple computers within a workgroup with Windows XP. Windows XP has a built-in feature that called "Internet Connection Sharing" (ICS) that allows home users to share their internet connections on multiple computers.
If you are not familiar with the network configurations, the easiest way to share your internet connection is to purchase a router or hub. Use this trick only if you don't have a router, or don't want to use a router, or if you just want to try out the feature.
A simple way to understand this feature is, you are making your host computer (the computer directly connects to the internet) functioning as a router for other computers.
Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (2002)/2003:
Most of standard keyboards come with a small numeric keypad which identified by the numbers from 0 to 9. However, this numeric keypad is also served for some other functions such as "Page Up", "Page Down", "End", "Home", etc... depending on which mode of the "Num Lock" is being used. Many Windows users find this numeric keypad useful to type the numbers faster. But oopps... after hitting a several keys on the numeric keypad, you recognize the outcomes are not what you expected. Then you recognize the "Num Lock" mode is "OFF", so you just need to switch it on, and... start over your typing! The bad news is, by default, Windows turns the Num Lock off; however, the good news is, you can configure Windows to turn this Num Lock ON so that whenever you mean "number", you really get a number.

If you're using Mozilla, you'll need greacemonkey plugin !
Script Summary: Gets rid of the new Facebook sidebar replacing it with one like the original.
Version: 2.1.1
License: GPL3+ (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html)
Version 2 is a complete rewrite of the script to use native Facebook functions where possible. What does this mean? Basically it means the entire script should be less buggy and easier to maintain into the future. It also means...
Just like the original Facebook chat, the chat bar will now group your friends into their respective friends lists as well as let you edit these lists or toggle them on/off.
I make no promises to keep this up to date as Facebook changes in the future, though I am doing my very best to resolve all bugs and maintain this script.

Problem: Removing someone from a friend list (group) does not update in the chat.
Solution: The person is removed from whatever permissions immediately, however a limitation in the Facebook code stops this from being visible immediately. If it is essential that the display be correct, simply refresh the page.
Problem: Coming back from online shows that I have 0 friends online shortly before showing that I am online.
Solution: This is just because while it loads your online friends, it thinks you have no friends online. This should last a couple of seconds at most, the best solution is to just go offline less often.
Problem: Toggling friend lists (groups) takes a while to update the online counter, or lists open/close incorrectly when toggling lists.
Solution: The friend list code is Facebooks, the lag is due to the fact the page must contact Facebook to alert it of the change before it can update the actual online status of your friends. If you toggle lists too quickly the server may respond out of order and mess up which lists are open. To avoid, simply do not toggle lists too quickly, or refresh page if anything messes up.
Problem: Script does not work with Opera and https
Solution: Go to "opera:config" (just type in the address bar) and search for "User JavaScript on HTTPS". Activate it and restart Opera. Now the Script will work! -- A big thanks to the user retsifp for submitting this problem and solution!
