Zuckerberg overtakes Page and Brin in the rich-list after GSV Capital Corp bought 225,000 shares in Facebook at an average price of $29.28 each, earlier this week.

According to The Times:

With the new valuation, Zuckerberg has one-upped Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, whose fortunes are estimated to have dropped.

This makes Zuckerberg the third richest man in Tech-industry, only behind Microsoft’s Bill Gates(current worth $56 billion) and Oracle’s Larry Ellison(current worth $39.5 billion).

    I'll stick with metal, thanks. But I guess if you're going to go with horrid plastic frames, you might as well go with these, since they're just as horrid….

    It looks to me like they're made out of resin with some hair in it. Does the hair have any structural purpose? The hair seems to just be a gimmick and the real concept is the biodegradable resin. You could put anything into the resin that was biodegradable to maintain that. Is the little gold insignia biodegradable as well as the screws that hold it together?

    Those frames are all profoundly ugly. Is there any way to make attractive frames using this process?

    I suspect people might be more comfortable with animal hair.

    I've always said that if people wanted their clothes to coordinate with their looks, they should weave their clothes out of their own human hair!
