A former Rutgers University student, Dharun Ravi used a
webcam to spy on a roommate who later committed suicide, has been sentenced to
30 days in jail. The judge gave 20-year-old Ravi a 30-day term with probation
on Monday. The judge also called Ravi’s actions “cold, calculated and
methodically conceived”. Ravi was convicted in March of “bias intimidation” for
using a webcam to stream a romantic encounter between his roommate. 18-year-old
Tyler Clementi and another man on the internet. Tyler Clementi took his life by
jumping from the George Washington Bridge in September 2010. Ravi hasn’t
attempted to apologize once and chose not to address the judge at all though his
sentencing hearing. Clementi’s father Joe, said that Ravi saw his son as not
deserving of basic human decency because her was gay. He also says that Ravi
has no remorse. On the other hand Ravi’s lawyer says that he has been “demonized
by the gay community” and the case is “being tried and is being treated as if
it’s a murder case”.

FACEBOOK is worth $100 billion! woe.
Facebook goes public this week. Facebook will
be valued at roughly $100 billion. Facebook will be the highest valuation ever
for initial public offering of a tech company. But come on…if Facebook really
worth this much money? Mark Zuckerberg turns 28 and becomes one of the richest
men in the world? The company is expected to start selling stock to the public
for the first time. The value of Facebook is over 100 billion making it worth
more than Disney, Ford and Kraft Foods. Once
Facebook begins selling stock, Zuckerberg will be expected to please a host of
new stakeholders, including Wall Street investment firms, hedge funds and
pension funds who will pressure him to keep the company growing. Young as he
may seem —especially in that hooded sweatshirt— Zuckerberg will be about the
same age as Michael Dell and older than Steve Jobs when those two took their
companies, Dell Inc. and Apple Inc., public.

Don't Get Out of Your Car on a Highway!
It’s called emergency lights
people, and don’t walk out on a highway; common sense. I guess this
Russian man didn’t have common sense. A man had to make an emergency stop and
failed to put him EMERGENCY lights on and was moving around beside his own
vehicle on a three-lane road when he was hit by an oncoming car. Besides his
car another car pulls up to help the first accident that he had to stop for and
other cars were not so patient. So they thought they would move around it and
hit a guy in the process. The car strikes the man and he is flipped. A smash is
heard and a woman’s voice can be heard on the video asking “What’s that? Oh my
god.” The man is then thrown by the can to his knees. He survived but only
suffered a broken leg. WATCH THE VIDEO.

Crazy EX.
"I knew
something was wrong because when I woke up I couldn't feel any teeth and my jaw
was strapped up with bandages," Olszewski said.
"She told me my mouth
was numb and I wouldn't be able to feel anything for a while and that the bandage
was there to protect the gums, but that I would need to see a specialist,"
he said.
"I didn't have any
reason to doubt her, I mean I thought she was a professional."
