Time Magazine Names Facebook's Zuckerberg Person of the Year. Seriously.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been named Person of the Year by Time magazine. Yep, Mark Zuckerberg. Not Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Not imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo. Not even the Chilean miners. Mark Zuckerberg. Time's Lev Grossman wrote that Zuckerberg received the honor "[f]or connecting more than half a billion people and mapping the social relations among them; for creating a new system of exchanging information; and for changing how we all live our lives." The inconvenient truth, of course, is that Zuckerberg basically did all that about six years ago, when he created Facebook. But he did have a movie made about him this year. And it was really good. Besides, Zuckerberg's young, and young people use Facebook, and Time magazine wants to stay hip with the kids. So it totally makes sense. You can find Time's full explanation here, and read about things you probably already knew.

Hollywood too apparent this universally ambrosial replica watch . Sean Penn sported it on his wrist in "Carlito's Way," and I bethink seeing Tom Cruise cutting one as well. There are two explanations. One, that the name derives from a gold-linked armlet with a buried brooch alleged "the President wristband," and created alone for this model.
