Mark Zuckerberg Scholar Grants

Saturday, September 25th, 2010

This Friday the owner of Facebook has joined the group of billionaires with open wallets. We all knew that Facebook makes quite a lot of money for it’s owner, but still it is a surprise that Zuckerberg gave a $100,000,000 check to the school system of Newark this Friday. The 26-year old made his way to the 35th position in the list of rich Americans. He is a Harward drop-out by the way; you don’t need to finish your school to success in life.

Facebook is by far the most used social networking website on the internet, and has a countless number of users. Mark Zuckerberg originally developed it for the use of a few college friends, without imagining how big of a phenomena it would be years later. It has already taken over Twitter and MySpace easily.

Are there more Mark Zuckerberg College Grants coming up?

There are cases like this where small businesses get over run by million dollar companies which have dozens of lawyers covering their backs. Usually their cases have a foundation that makes sense, but in some situations like the interesting case of Monster Energy Drink attacking Vermonster beer the claims are considered outrageous.

Rock Art Brewery is a home based business in Vermont that has been brewing a fine beer called Vermonster for a long time, and now gets threatened by a large company called Hansen Natural Corp that their Vermonster has a name that is too close to their Monster Energy Drink.

Rock Art Brewery is taking action against this and has already contacted trademark lawyers that have given their professional opinion about the incident and are stating that there is no copyright infingement.

Rock Art Brewery fears that the million dollar company can easily run them over in court because of the money that they can afford to spend on the case, and is hoping that the citizens of the United States would take this as public as they can, and do what is possible to make the existense of small businesses in the USA possible.

Do you already know what Monster Energy Drink tastest like?
