|Is the Bird-Man a flying Dutchman or a fraud?
Friday, 23 March 2012 07:50
A Dutch engineer who claims to be the first human being to fly like a bird unaided by a jet or rotors has the Internet all atwitter with a video of his alleged maiden flight.
The video, which quickly went viral, shows Jarno Smeets, also known as the "Bird-Man", running through a park in The Hague strapped to a pair of enormous (200 square foot) kite-like wings while vigorously pumping his arms, successfully taking off and making a short flight.
Apart from the 31-year old's own arms, the wings were also powered by Wii motion sensors, which reportedly helped to 'sense' and amplify Smeet's flapping movements and an accelerometer from an HTC Wildfire S smartphone.
After the 60 second flight, a triumphant Smeets is shown breathlessly saying how it was the best feeling he has ever had in his life. "At one moment you see the ground moving away, and then suddenly you're free, a really intense feeling of freedom. The true feeling of flying. A *&^%$ magical moment."
However, soon after the video was posted, speculation began flying that the entire thing was merely a flight of fancy and an elaborate hoax, with aviation experts saying that such a feat is physically impossible to achieve.
"I'm tempted to play along, but unfortunately, from a physical perspective, it's completely unrealistic," the Huffington Post quoted Dr. Todd Reichert as saying. "Given an estimated total weight of 100kg, a wing area of 9 square meters, maximum lift coefficient of 1.0, and an air density of 1.22 kilograms per cubic meter... the vehicle would have to travel at least 49 kilometres per hour to stay airborne."
According to Dr. Reichert, who is an expert in bird and human-powered flight from the University of Toronto, takeoff would have been a problem too. "Unless this guy can blow by Usain Bolt in a sprint, he's not going to reach takeoff speed by running."
Updated: The entire thing – from the flying down to Smeets' identity – was a hoax played on the internet by a Dutch artist named Floris Kaayk. Gizmodo reported that Kaayk confessed on a Dutch television show, saying that the stunt formed part of a documentary that he is working on.

Area Blues Scene Finds a Home on Small Screen
By Alyssa Harvey, The Daily News, Bowling Green, Ky.
Jul. 10–The Kentucky Blues Society will debut its new show, "Kentucky Blues TV," at 6:30 p.m. tonight on Insight Cable Channel 5.
"Kentucky has had tremendous people in the industry who have changed the world's music," Blues Society member Kenny Lee Smith said. "We're hoping the show will help make it more accessible to people."
The 30-minute program, hosted by former professional wrestler Jim "Hillbilly Jim" Morris, will feature a segment called "Kentucky Blues History Corner," sponsored by Bluegrass Cellular. The segment is part of the Blues Society's Blues in the Schools, an international program created by the Blues Foundation, parent organization of the Kentucky Blues Society. The program helps provide music education, history and performances to southcentral Kentucky school groups. Louisville's Sylvester Weaver, thought to be the first person in the world to make a blues guitar recording (in 1923), will be the subject of the first segment, Smith said.
"In all, we'll have 20 video segments on important Kentuckians in music. The host of that segment is (Blues Society member) Andy Stahl," he said. "We try to get the children involved in the music and talk about history."
"Kentucky Blues TV" will also have live music segments, featuring artists like Lil' Dave Thompson of Greenville, Miss., and The Beat Daddys' lead guitarist Tommy Stillwell of Clover Port while he was performing locally at Utley's Bar and Grill. A variety of segments will feature local Blues Society members, including the debut of 13-year-old guitarist Aaron Holder of Scottsville.
"We've been working with Insight to get a quality program. Our mission as the Blues Society is to spread the word (about the blues)," Smith said. "This is a continuation of that."
The segments are already available online at www.kybluestv.com, Smith said — the group decided to put them on television because it will reach more people.
"The segments on TV are a little shorter," he said. "Television is the way most people get their access to anything. The Internet is going more toward video."
The group has big plans for the show, Smith said.
"We will put it around the state on channels that Insight covers. We're also working on getting it in Nashville," he said. "We're planning DVDs for the schools and libraries in the state so it can be an ongoing thing that people can access. We're talking to local business about advertising. We just want enough to broadcast the program."
The show will air at 6:30 p.m. each Thursday, but it may be a few weeks before the second episode airs, Smith said.
"We're putting together things for our next several episodes. We want to let people see it and get feedback. We'll learn more as people react to it," he said. "We hope to have continuing episodes. Our effort is to reach more people and get them aware of and involved in Kentucky's great musical output — past, present and future."

Allowing blocked kicks past couple of games have been momentum killers by Chargers' special teams
The Chargers punt coverage team ranks among the NFL's best. The unit supports Mike Scifres well in the battle for field position, a thankless job that often goes unnoticed.
Except when disaster strikes.
Then, all eyes focus on what went terribly wrong. It normally ends with Scifres on his back, wincing in pain. It starts with a blocking error up front, an NFL rarity that can change a game.
The past two weeks, it has.
The Chargers had a punt blocked and returned for a touchdown against Tampa Bay, a moment that lost a lead the Chargers never regained.
It was characterized as an aberration, until it happened again.
Denver blocked a punt the following week, and scored a touchdown on the next play of a game the Chargers had to win but lost.
"Those blocks don't define us as a group, but there's no denying that we failed in those situations," special teams captain Darrell Stuckey said. "On special teams, you're remembered for the bad you do and ignored when you get it right. Good becomes normal. Bad becomes a focal point.
"The expectation is for us to be perfect. When something like that happens, it's a dramatic event."
Special teams play the past two weeks is a microcosm of the entire season. The Chargers look great one moment, terrible the next. Inconsistency has been this team's downfall, and is chiefly responsible for four losses in five games.
The Chargers say they still haven't played a complete game. At some point, something goes wrong and affects the outcome. Today against the 8-2 Baltimore Ravens, the Chargers can't afford to make major mistakes.
The special teams unit believes it won't make another one. Can't afford it either way.
Tides turn on blunders like blocked punts. It certainly has these past two weeks. It certainly did in 2010, when the team had four punts blocked and another deflected. The Chargers missed the playoffs in large part because of special teams foibles.
It hasn't helped this season's cause either.
"Anytime you have a problem in the kicking game, it's big," Chargers special teams coach Rich Bisaccia said. "It's magnified because you only get the one play to get it right. Anytime something negative happens, you get dulled on the sideline. You feel like you lose momentum and a bit of energy. That's a natural human reaction to such things.
"When you give up a big play in the kicking game, a team can get down. It's our job to make sure it doesn't happen again."
While the punts were blocked for different reasons, miscommunication is a common thread between the two.
"We know what the system is and our roles within it," special teammer Andrew Gachkar said. "If we don't follow it to the letter, bad things can happen. Everyone has to stay on the same page. We have to keep grinding and stay sharp on game day."
Stuckey and Gachkar want special teams to be a point of stability when all else fails.

Edge-case behavior of INSERT…ODKU
A few weeks back, I was working on a customer issue wherein they were observing database performance that dropped through the floor (to the point of an outage) roughly every 4 weeks or so. Nothing special about the environment, the hardware, or the queries; really, the majority of the database was a single table with […]
Benchmarking single-row insert performance on Amazon EC2
I have been working for a customer benchmarking insert performance on Amazon EC2, and I have some interesting results that I wanted to share. I used a nice and effective tool iiBench which has been developed by Tokutek. Though the "1 billion row insert challenge" for which this tool was originally built is long over, […]
Avoiding auto-increment holes on InnoDB with INSERT IGNORE
Are you using InnoDB tables on MySQL version 5.1.22 or newer? If so, you probably have gaps in your auto-increment columns. A simple INSERT IGNORE query creates gaps for every ignored insert, but this is undocumented behaviour. This documentation bug is already submitted. Firstly, we will start with a simple question. Why do we have […]
High Rate insertion with MySQL and Innodb
I again work with the system which needs high insertion rate for data which generally fits in memory. Last time I worked with similar system it used MyISAM and the system was built using multiple tables. Using multiple key caches was the good solution at that time and we could get over 200K of inserts/sec. […]
Sharing an auto_increment value across multiple MySQL tables
The title is SEO bait – you can't do it. We've seen a few recurring patterns trying to achieve similar – and I thought I would share with you my favorite two: Option #1: Use a table to insert into, and grab the insert_id:
CREATE TABLE option1 (id int not null primary key auto_increment) engine=innodb;
# each insert does one operations to get the value:
INSERT INTO option1 VALUES (NULL);
# $connection->insert_id();
Option #2: Use a table with one just row:
CREATE TABLE option2 (id int not null primary key) engine=innodb;
INSERT INTO option2 VALUES (1); # start from 1
# each insert does two operations to get the value:
UPDATE option2 SET id=@id:=id+1;
SELECT @id;
Using Multiple Key Caches for MyISAM Scalability
I have written before – MyISAM Does Not Scale, or it does quite well – two main things stopping you is table locks and global mutex on the KeyCache. Table Locks are not the issue for Read Only workload and write intensive workloads can be dealt with by using with many tables but Key Cache […]

INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE and REPLACE INTO
Jonathan Haddad writes about REPLACE INTO and INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE. Really, Why MySQL has both of these, especially both are non ANSI SQL extensions ?

UN chief proposes peacekeepers as option for Mali
In the other option, Ban said a U.N. peacekeeping force would operate mainly in the north under robust rules of engagement with a mandate to protect civilians "under imminent threat of physical violence." He said the bulk of AFISMA troops would transfer to the U.N. force, which would also include 1,440 police oficers.
"Given the anticipated level and nature of the residual threat, there would be a fundamental requirement for a parallel force to operate in Mali (and potentially in the sub-region) alongside the United Nations mission in order to conduct major combat and counter-terrorism operations and provide specialist support beyond the scope of the United Nations' mandate and capability," Ban said.
He said "it is critical" that there is a clear distinction between the tasks of the two forces.
"Any blurring of this distinction would place severe constraints on the ability of United Nations humanitarian, development and human rights personnel to safely do their work," Ban warned.
The secretary-general said the political process in Mali is lagging "dangerously behind the military effort" and he called for a national dialogue to be convened without delay. He said the worrying human rights situation also needs immediate action, citing reports in the north of summary executions, illegal arrests, use of children by armed groups, rape, forced marriage and the destruction and looting of property.

Shorts, 11/2."[Tacita] Dean's fidelity to 16-mm film and its bulky, outmoded apparatus, as digital technology quickly renders them obsolete, defines her art and her outlook; the materiality of the medium seems a bulwark against a fast-advancing future where imagery is insubstantial, endlessly transmutable, there but not there," writes James Quandt. "Dean is no loon or Luddite in her lost-cause allegiance to celluloid. As the poet of imperiled sites, abandoned dwellings, defunct technology, and architectural relics, she is at once an English romantic, an aesthetic descendant of Turner, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and Michael Powell, and a recalcitrant materialist." Also in Artforum, Tom Vanderbilt: "Our Daily Bread is quite shocking, though not, as might be expected, for scenes of horrific carnage and the squeals of dying animals; nor for the plight of the workers, who do not seem to suffer unduly; but rather for the bloodless sterility and antiseptic hush that prevail.... In the realm of the wordless visual essay, [Nikolaus] Geyrhalter is the anti-Godfrey Reggio: instead of sweeping shots of epic, backbreaking human labor set to an urgently pulsating minimalist score, he gives us confined shots of clinical work enveloped by a claustrophobic silence." "All along, the real question behind the scenes of Blood Diamond - an action-adventure pic set against the backdrop of civil war and chaos in the diamond-mining center of 1990s Sierra Leone, starring Leo DiCaprio, Jennifer Connelly and Djimon Hounsou, directed by Ed Zwick and produced by Paula Weinstein - is not whether it will be an Oscar contender (probably) or a critics' favorite (possibly)," writes Nikki Finke. "It's just how much mud the World Diamond Council and its flacks and flunkies and friends are planning to throw at the well-intentioned film and its too-liberal-for-the-room credits. Now the answer is clear: a lot, more than enough to dirty its awards chances." Also in the LA Weekly, Paul Malcolm: "The three discs that make up Facet's collection, The Films of James Broughton, reveal the work of a film poet whose passions - spiritual, carnal and aesthetic - grew stronger and wilder over the course of a 40-year career." And Tom Charity recommends The Pusher Trilogy. "It only takes a few minutes of watching Iraq in Fragments to recognize that the film stands apart from the Iraqumentary pack: dazzling cinematography in place of the dull visuals of the evening news, slice-of-life narration instead of talking heads," writes Max Goldberg, who interviews director James Longley. Also in the San Francisco Bay Guardian:

Played for about 2 hours today, Hit for about 45 minutes and then played 2 sets. lost first 4-6, was up in the 2nd 4-1 when we ran out of time. With the gut.poly hybrid at 60/58# control was excellent, spin was ridiculous and comfort was good. I am still struggling with hitting serves going long, so I know I am not getting through the strike zone with enough snap and height. Will work on that. Even with a real relaxed service motion at 50-75% output, the frames mass can really bring in some easy heat. I was hitting great angles today and some good outright down the line winners off of both wings. I did not do to much S&V today because I couldn't get comfortable serving, otherwise, I really am starting to enjoy this frame.Volleys are solid, but you have to be ready or the frame can feel sluggish. I have a league match in the morning and then I am playing again in the afternoon. I will bring a basket and some targets and work on my serve some more tomorrow afternoon. If I am still loving it by the weekend, I will probably pick up a 2nd frame and move to this. I really like the BB legends, but it just feels flimsy compared to the 200 tour.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
Glossing over an air force tour in Korea and a stint running cable cars in San Francisco, How to Eat follows Van Peebles to Europe, where he cranked out five French-language novels, one of which became his feature debut, The Story of a Three-Day Pass (1968), a fragmented interracial (and multilingual) romance shot in nouvelle vague style. While the independently made Sweetback is justly remembered as Van Peebles's definitive work, it's the 1970 Watermelon Man, a studio comedy about a bigoted insurance salesman who wakes up one morning as a black man, that epitomizes the Van Peebles strategy of outwardly embracing stereotypes only to subvert them from within. The director recounts his difficulties convincing the studio to accept a black lead actor (Godfrey Cambridge, who spends the first 20 minutes in whiteface), and wryly recalls "forgetting" to shoot the obligatory "happy" endingin which the salesman turns white again.
Happily, How to Eat ventures well beyond MVP's cinematic output, recapping his credentials as a rap-music forefather and his groundbreaking Broadway successes, as well as unlikelier pursuits like trading on Wall Street and singing "Achy Breaky Heart" onstage. Largely content to bask in the great man's glow, Angio provides generous clips and soundbites alongside fond reminiscences, but the celebratory tone leaves room for darker reflections. As skilled a self-promoter as he is, Van Peebles has always entwined the personal with the political. But if the Huey Newtonendorsed Sweetback made it cool to be a revolutionary, its lesser progeny did the same for pimps and dealers, reasserting the dead-end "positive image" discourse that Sweetback's empowering vision of black masculinity seemed to have blown away for good. How to Eat is finally nostalgic, albeit less so for Van Peebles, who at 73 remains active on multiple artistic fronts, than for a lost era when brash individualism and radical politics seemed to go hand in hand.

Anyone else having more crashes since last patch?

I'm on the latest Nvidia driver, but it only seemed to crop up after the patch one or two revisions ago.
Most of the time it doesn't cause a blue screen, usually it's just gameclient.exe that crashes. But I think I solved it - just ran a multi-hour session across 3 chars with no crash. (Not definitive, but we'll see.) For my case, I turned Shadow detail to Low (from High). In previous cases this has caused similar issues (not just for me, but for a lot of folks) and the fix is the same: set Shadows to Low.

Long-awaited NH pollution trial ready to start
CONCORD, N.H. Nearly a decade after it was first brought, a lawsuit accusing two oil giants of widespread groundwater contamination in New Hampshire is expected to present jurors with the most complex and time-consuming trial in state history.
The products liability case against ExxonMobil and Citgo will be tried beginning in mid-January in a federal courtroom - on loan to the state - because it would undermine the rights of criminal defendants to a speedy trial if it tied up one of the three courtrooms in Merrimack Superior Court, officials said.
The state sued 26 oil companies and subsidiaries in 2003, claiming the gasoline additive MTBE, methyl tertiary butyl ether, caused groundwater contamination in a state where 60 percent of the population relies on private wells for drinking water.
New Hampshire is seeking more than $700 million in damages to test and monitor every private well and public drinking water system in the state and to cover cleanup costs where needed, according to court documents.
New Hampshire is the only state to have reached the trial stage in a lawsuit over MTBE.
Other lawsuits have been brought by municipalities, water districts or individual well owners, and most filed in the past decade have ended in settlements. New York City in 2009 won a $105 million federal jury verdict against ExxonMobil for MTBE contamination of city wells; that verdict has been appealed.
MTBE had been used in gasoline since the 1970s to increase octane and reduce smog-causing emissions. While it was credited with cutting air pollution, it was found in the late 1990s to contaminate drinking water when gasoline is spilled or leaks into surface or groundwater.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency had classified it as a "possible human carcinogen." New Hampshire banned its use in 2007.
All the sued oil companies but ExxonMobil, based in Irving, Texas, and Citgo, based in Houston and owned by Venezuela, have reached settlement agreements with the state. Just last month, Shell Oil Co. and Sunoco Inc. agreed to pay the state a total of $35 million.
When the lawsuit was originally filed, then-Attorney General Peter Heed said MTBE contamination had caused an "unprecedented environmental problem." Heed said MTBE "has been associated with adverse health consequences and can render water unpalatable."
The case was tied up in federal courts for years on jurisdiction issues before being sent back to state court.
Lawyers for the defendants claim that they are not liable and that MTBE functioned as it should. They also stress that they have cleaned up their own sites and that contamination elsewhere was caused by third parties who have not been sued.
"They haven't suffered the injury they claim they did," Attorney James Quinn, who represents ExxonMobil, said during a pretrial hearing in November. He said pre-existing contaminants - including iron, radon and E. coli - could unfairly drive up damages.
Attorney Jessica Grant, representing the state at the same pretrial hearing, said the case is about whether the oil companies designed a defective product, failed to warn consumers of the dangers of MTBE "and ignored their own experts who said don't use MTBE."

Congress focuses on dams amid California's drought
WASHINGTON (AP) — California's drought has sparked a new push by federal lawmakers to create or expand a handful of reservoirs around the state, ramping up a political battle that former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger once referred to as a "holy war in some ways."
Government agencies have been studying five major water storage projects for nearly two decades, with nothing to show for the effort so far.
Meanwhile, the state's water problems have only grown worse. California has had its third relatively dry winter in a row and court rulings have mandated that more water be released from reservoirs to sustain fish species in Northern California's delta. At the same time, the nation's most populous state, now at 38 million residents, continues to grow beyond the capacity of a water storage and delivery system that was mostly completed in the late 1960s.
This winter is among the driest on record, forcing some communities to ration water and leading farmers to fallow thousands of acres that otherwise would be producing vegetables, fruits and nuts for the nation.
The state Legislature is expected to debate water storage options later this year as it seeks compromise on a multibillion dollar water bond for the November ballot. But California's congressional delegation has provided a jumpstart.
Bills proposed in Congress would authorize a number of projects to expand or create reservoirs. Among the projects are raising the dam at Shasta Lake to store more water in California's largest reservoir, creating a new reservoir in the Sierra Nevada along the upper San Joaquin River east of Fresno and damming a valley north of Sacramento.
Other storage options include expanding the dams at the San Luis Reservoir in the central part of the state and at Los Vaqueros Reservoir in the eastern San Francisco Bay Area.
Authorizing such projects through federal legislation would be a prerequisite for dedicating money to a project in the future.
Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein said those who oppose new or expanded dams are hoping that doing so will deter growth and development, but it's a losing battle.
"Growth comes anyway," she said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "Then you don't have enough water."
Feinstein acknowledges that conservation also is critical to meeting the state's water needs but said some new or expanded reservoirs must be allowed so more water can be captured during wet years and stored for use during the dry ones.
"They have a certain prior, I don't know how to put it, stigma to them," she said of dams. "But this is a different day now. And it's a day that's been coming for a long time. Somehow, we've got to measure up to it."
In California, water often is a shared commodity between the federal government, the state and local users.
Feinstein is urging the state Legislature to modify the bond measure on the November ballot to prioritize both water storage and conservation. She would like to see $3 billion dedicated in the bond to developing storage, with an additional $2 billion set aside for restoring the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, the heart of California's water-delivery system.

Felipe Gregorio Power Triple R Cigar Review
- Size: 5 1/2 x 55
- Wrapper: Natural
- Rating: 18
This cigar looks great. A beautiful dark natural color with no significant flaws. I found the cigar a little firm but it didn't feel heavy. The wrapper and foot of the cigar gave a little grassy smell, nice. I cut the cigar w/ my Palio cutter and lit it with my single flame butane lighter
- Taste:
- 1st Third
- - I received some sweet grassy woody flavors on the first draw. The first half gives light tobacco and oak leaf notes, roots,slightly palate coating.
- 2nd Third
- - The glassy flavors started giving way to a nice black licorice flavor and some more woody flavors. The intensity of the cigar increased some also. I found that retro hauling gave me a little more charred wood flavor.
- Last Third
- - The cigar kept growing in strength but wasn't as strong as I expected it to be. I got some strong hints of cedar. I find myself thoroughly enjoying this fine tobacco.
- Burn and Ash
- - The ash was a light to medium grey
- Strength:
- - medium to full smoke
- Comments:
- - This was a completely new cigar for me and I didn't have any background knowledge of this cigar. I enjoyed some of the flavors of this cigar and would happily reccomend this to others.

12 out of 12 people found this instruction helpful
With a flat bladed screwdriver I pried off the existing rubber of the old drive coupling. The old coupling was dry and hard and I believe this is the reason it broke. Left on the drive shaft is an aluminum piece with reverse threads. It is impossible to remove this without a very flat wrench (which I didn't have). I took my screwdriver and carefully pried upward from the underside of the aluminum piece, turning the piece as I went, and prying in each side. It seems scary to do this, but the drive shaft is quite strong and I was careful not to damage the edge of the blender. After doing this 8-10 times and gradually deforming the edge of the aluminum piece (bending up a few millimeters each time) the piece turned freely. I was able to unscrew (remember reverse threads) and put the new drive coupling on. Very easy fix and glad I didn't run out and buy a set of flat wrenches.

The Accidental Billionaires (edition 2010)
by B. Mezrich

The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook: A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal by Ben Mezrich
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A quick read. I picked this up after I finally got around to seeing "The Social Network" because I wanted to see if the book offered more information (it turns out that the movie is actually pretty faithful to the spirit of the book). "Facebook's Founding According to Eduardo Saverin" would probably be the most accurate (if not particularly catchy) title for both book and movie. Although Mark Zuckerberg's lack of cooperation with the project makes any account of his personal recollections conjecture, his silence certainly didn't impede the narrative. It's actually quite amazing how much material was obviously accessible, not just from interviews with Harvard classmates, but from court documents and sources like The Harvard Crimson. I wasn't terribly impressed with the book itself; it's poorly written, rather juvenile and frequently quite obnoxious in tone.
This story ends up being a cautionary tale about how power corrupts and one can't trust one's friends, especially if they're brilliant programmers with vindictive streaks. Oddly absorbing.
For the second time in recorded history, I liked the movie better than the book.
Aaron Sorkin rocks. Go see "The Social Network".
For the second time in recorded history, I liked the movie better than the book.
Aaron Sorkin rocks. Go see "The Social Network".
If you have seen the movie, The Social Network, you already know the plot. Filled with the purported conversations of college students from years ago, one must remain somewhat skeptical. However, I get really nervous when the author describes taking a flight from New York to San Francisco on a 757 "wide-body." (It's a narrow-body.)
Mezrich, himself, says several of the characters are composites (more red flags,) and some reviewers have complained the book was too long and boring. I listened to it as an audiobook while mowing the lawn, so my expectations in that regard aren't terribly high, and I did enjoy - or at least found interesting - the legal stuff, i.e. really rich students suing other really rich students while sucking at daddy's teat.
One does wonder what Zuckerberg might have accomplished had he been studying philosophy instead of computer science. The social outcast as future billionaire. Mostly the characters come across as very unhappy people.
Amusing, but take with a block of salt. The author himself has noted elsewhere that he was making do with limited sources, but that the point of the book was not to be history but rather a commentary on the values of current culture. I understand [b:Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions|514313|Bringing Down the House The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions|Ben Mezrich|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175443045s/514313.jpg|502278] is a better representation of what the author can do.
There's a fascinating book in Facebook's origins, no doubt—one that explores the near-instantaneous transformation of undergraduates to captains of industry and helps us understand why the world was ready for the kind of social networking Facebook was designed to facilitate. But Mezrich doesn't want to write it. He wants to start every chapter with an overbaked recreation and spice up the saga of stock options with metaphors right out of Creative Writing 101.
[W]hile Mr Mezrich spins a colourful tale... his take on the internal battles at Facebook is flawed. Mr Zuckerberg refused to be interviewed for the book, so the narrative is missing a crucial perspective. And Mr Mezrich appears to have relied heavily on sources with large axes to grind against Facebook's boss.
Has Mr. Mezrich done anything wrong in grossly embellishing, exaggerating and tarting up his material as if he were writing a screenplay? Should the tactics of a script or roman à clef be used for a purportedly nonfiction chronicle?
It's a sexy idea, one that promises either a juicy tell-all or a hard-hitting exposé. The Accidental Billionaires is neither.

He will next be seen in Men Who Stare at Goats opposite George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, and Jeff Bridges, as well as Nick Moran's film Telstar opposite Colm O'Neil and Pam Ferris. Read his exclusive Amazon guest review of The Accidental Billionaires:
I first met Ben Mezrich when I produced and starred in 21, the film adaptation of his great bestseller Bringing Down the House. Ben has a gift for finding high-energy, strange-but-true tales and The Accidental Billionaires is no exception.
You may think you know the story of the Facebook phenomenon, but you haven't heard the whole story and never like this. Recreating the unbelievable rise of the world's biggest social network—not to mention the planet's youngest billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg—Ben tells a captivating story of betrayal, vast amounts of cash, and two friends who revolutionized the way humans connect to one another—only to have an enormous falling out and never speak again.
Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg were two geeky, socially awkward Harvard undergrads who wanted nothing more than to be cool. While Eduardo chose the more straightforward path of trying to gain acceptance into one of the school's ultra-posh, semi-secret Final Clubs, Mark used his computer skills by hacking into Harvard's computers, pulling up all the pictures of every girl on campus to create a sort of "hot-or-not" site exclusive to Harvard. Though the prank nearly got Mark kicked out of college, he and Eduardo realized that they were on to something big. Thus, the initial concept of Facebook was born; what happened next, however, was right out of a Hollywood thriller.The Accidental Billionaires is the perfect pairing of author and subject. It's pure summer fun—a juicy, fast-paced, unputdownable Mezrich tale that adds to his canon of lad lit. And Hollywood has come calling again: I'm currently working with Dana Brunetti, Scott Rudin, Mike Deluca, and Aaron Sorkin on the movie adaptation of The Accidental Billionaires. If the book is any indication, the film is going to be a must see.—Kevin Spacey
