Facebook charges $100 to message Mark Zuckerberg

Want to message Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook? For $100, your note will land in his inbox.

Traditionally, if a Facebook user messages someone outside his or her network, the missive gets sent to the "Other" mailbox -- a rarely checked purgatory most users don't even know exists. It's a practice intended to protect users from a spam deluge.

Facebook said in December that it would begin testing out paid messages, allowing users to contact people with whom they have no direct connection in return for a fee. Facebook didn't say at the time how much it would cost, but the answer turns out to be "a lot."

Mashable discovered on Thursday that sending a message to Facebook founder Zuckerberg carries a $100 price tag. That's also what it costs to message Facebook COO Sheryl Sandburg , CFO David Ebersman, and several other Facebook members CNNMoney tried, such as Digg founder Kevin Rose.

What i did over the winter break was go to my aunts house and stay there for a while. My aunt lived near the mall so we went there a couple times just waste time and go shopping. When we went back home i spent all my time on the internet. I watched movies and got on tumblr for about a week straight. I wached a ton of movies. Most movies that i watched made me cry or laugh. My mom made some food for new years so we could eat. On New Years Eve i watched some show on tv and wached celeberties pefomr songs. I saw Jusin Bieber about 3 times and I saw Taylor Swift and Harry Styles New Year kiss a lot of people made a big deal out of it.

Intel demands ultra books add touchscreens

Intel is adding a big new requirement for any computers that want to carry its "ultra book" branding: They'll have to include a touchscreen. A prototype the company showed off Monday at a Consumer Electronics Show presentation featured a detachable display, a form factor that Intel hopes will become common. The new ultra books will run on Intel's upcoming Haswell chips, which are the first processors designed specifically for ultra books. The processors can provide "all-day battery life" and are designed to work "naturally" with voice and touch.
