Oh my god!! I really made many mistakes in my last entry, just wanna point that out.
Well I really didn´t do many things for english the last week. I only watched "the social network" , which my brother bought on thursday. It is actually kind of funny , because when i watched it in the cinema i thought the film was pretty cool. And when i watched it on dvd i didn´t thought it was cool, i thought it was a masterpiece!!!!! The film is really good, and even if you hate facebook you should see it because it is about betrayal and a broken friendship.
Here is a link to a very interesting video with Mark zuckerberg and Jesse Eisenberg ( he plays Zuckerberg in the movie). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhyefOJIH3w

Yesterday I finished reading "The Accidental Billionaires" , and I think it is pretty awesome. The book is written by Ben Mezrich and it was published in 2009. It is pretty much about the founding of "Facebook" and that is a very , very interesting story.
In 2003 the two, young Harvard-Students Mark Zuckerberg and his friend Eduardo Saverin came up with the idea with a social netork called "thefacebook". Both were not really the cool guys on Harvard but "thefacebook" became really popular on the campus and it seemed like everybody loved it. The identical twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss asked Mark , some time ago, to make a social network for them and after they found out that he invited his own social network, both think that Mark has stolen there idea. But he did not really care , and because of "thefacebook´s" popularity Eduardo and him are starting to think of cash. So Mark moves to Chicago, where he meets the "Napster-Founder" Sean Parker , who wants to be part of "thefacebook". Mark agrees, but Eduardo does not really like Sean. The whole "Facebook" Company, but Eduardo is now moving to Chicago. Escpeccialy Parker think that this is very stupid from Eduardo and comes up with an idea.........When Eduardo had come back to the team, he finds out that his 33,4 % where set down to less than 10%. Instead of him Sean Parker is no the CEO of "Facebook". But some time later he has been invited to a party, where suddenly the cops arrived and Parker was busted. So Mark writes him one of the most sarcastic letters of all time................"I´m CEO, Bitch". On the last pages the author tells that the Winklevoss twins sued Mark and they had won 67 Million Dollars. Eduardo sued him to, but no one knows how much he had won. THE END
I think the book is pretty cool, interesting and sometimes funny at the same time. Because I had seen the movie it was quite easy for me to understand what was happening.
