TechCrunch (7846) permalink
Rumors started to leak earlier today that Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz (right) and colleague Justin Rosenstein were leaving to start their own company. Facebook has since confirmed the rumor to us with a simple quote from Mark Zuckerberg: “Dustin has always had Facebook’s best interests at heart and will always be someone I turn to for advice.” Fortunately, Rosenstein (who formerly worked at Google as product manager of Google Page Creator) has posted more information ...Shared by aaron (115) Aaron (38) Alex (46) Amr Awadallah (34) Ben Shoemate (64) Chip R (11) chris (320) colladude (8) David V (21) digits12 (380) dobata (301) DOCBook Howto (171) Dragos Pirvu (646) Edin (30) Erik C.

The U.S. Government Engineered The Current Economic Crisis (69)
onThese people (the U.S. government) need to be stopped. Every time we get ourselves into an economic mess, there’s usually some milestone idiocy we can point back to as the government action that made the meltdown inevitable. Take the current housing crisis that has now spread to the financial markets in general. The cause was too-easy credit that fueled a massive increase in housing prices as people bought houses they couldn’t afford with mortgages they ...Shared by Adam (21) Aditya (16) Adrian Bacon (79) Aeh310 (19) anand (24) andrew dahley (16) Ben Shoemate (64) bigstrings (17) Bill (19) Bob (12) Brandon Henak (14) BritCrit (15) Bryce Schober (11) Carl (102) Chip R (11) Chris (24) ChrisOfSpades (14) Christopher Gizzi (46) cvander (4) Dan McCall (26) Darian Rawson (49) Devin (12) Devin (6) Eli Dourado (20) Eric (13) evo (20) exists (22) Gaufre (19) GP (46) Graham (7) gzub (6) Haidong (17) Hokey (27) hyderabadblues (23) idham (13) James (20) James (23) Jason Nielubowicz (20) Jason Sares (19) Jason Shultz (25) Jay (13) Jeff (42) Jennifer Lance (37) Jim (13) Jonathan (22) Josh (13) jtuchscherer (12) kennethjayden (10) Leon (19) Linkletter (20) Mark McKay (53) Matthew Bookspan (11) morgan180 (47) Mudiam (18) Nolan Eakins (22) nyenyec (19) Pascal Sijen (18) Paul (26) Raphael (10) Ritu (626) Ryan (27) Sam (41) Scott (14) Seth (7) Seth (24) Sharto Pagan (16) Svitlana (9) Tiffany Rowe (0) Warrick (17)Explore read 12 notes

I guess all of us responsible folks, who purchased homes within our means, will have to foot the bill for the idiots that didn't have enough sense to do the same, and the banks (and government) that allowed it to happen. As I said, disgusting.

But since I had borrowed money for home nearly four years ago at one of the lowest interest rates, it really pains to mention this, banks/builders have profiteered enormously due to this. And is still happening in India. Don't know when the mad people would come out of their craze to buy realty, which they can't afford.
