FACEBOOK has lost around £172billion since July, partly thanks to poor leadership by Mark Zuckerberg. The company has moved from crisis to crisis in 2018, and is now among the world's notorious tech firms. Facebook has been caught up in three major privacy controversies in the past week alone. And since being valued at a July 25 stock market high of £496billion, Facebook has quickly slumped to just £324billion today. That's a loss of £172billion in just six months, as investors bail on the rogue social media firm. It's equivalent to losing the combined value of Netflix (£94.2billion), Twitter (£20.5billion), Snapchat (£5.78billion) and Sony (£49.6billion). Facebook has also lost £92billion in value since the beginning of 2018. And earlier this month, Facebook's stock price slumped £7.4billion in a matter of hours. The fall came after sealed court documents about the firm were released to the public. The secret files – which … [Read more...] about Facebook has lost £180BILLION since summer as Zuckerberg ‘loses control’ of rogue social network

Bob Woodward's explosive new novel released on Tuesday provides a glimpse into the often-private relationship between President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump.In his exposé "Fear: Trump in the White House," Woodward claims that the president and first lady actually do like each other, despite multiple reports that have claimed otherwise."West Wingers and those who traveled regularly with Trump noticed that he and Melania seemed to have some sincere affection for each other despite media speculation," Woodward wrote, according to People.However, Woodward also notes that Melania operates "independently" and that the couple "never really seemed to merge their lives," adding that the first lady's "primary concern" has always been the pair's 12-year-old son."She's obsessed with Barron," Woodward wrote, quoting an inside source.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller is asking for more resources for his investigation — including a cadre of additional Justice Department prosecutors, according to a new report from Bloomberg.According to the report, Mueller has been busy recruiting U.S. attorneys and FBI agents to supplement his investigative team.

E3’s bizarre, bombastic media events
I attended my first E3 back in 1995 and have sat through dozens of media presentations. To me, they're like a secret language of anxiety and folly. Below, I’ve shared my thoughts on this year's installment. Last week, my colleague Brian Crecente wrote a cogent piece about the practical and commercial point of E3, and how it might face an uncertain future. After a few days of slogging around E3’s media presentations, I’m intrigued by a slightly different question: Why the hell do we do this to ourselves? I’m especially interested by the so-called media events staged by companies like Electronic Arts, Microsoft, Sony, Bethesda and Ubisoft. These quasi-press conferences require enormous expenditure, mass discomfort and long waits. The amount of new, valuable information they contain is negligible, especially considering the wealth of alternative methods, as demonstrated by Nintendo Direct and various other strategies used by companies all through the year. They … [Read more...] about E3’s bizarre, bombastic media events
