Just when Mark Zuckerberg thought he was safe from the Winklevoss brothers, another threat looms fast: Paul Ceglia.
So, what does this guy want? Half of Facebook, to be precise. Ceglia claims Zuckerberg signed a contract promising him a 50 per cent stake in the biggest social network in the world.
And who is he? A wood pellet maker, former web designer.
The lawsuit, first filed against the Facebook founder last July, by Ceglia in New York’s Supreme Court, claimed the Facebook CEO signed a contract with him in April 2003 to design and develop thefacebook.com, it’s original name.
But now Ceglia has hired a new team of lawyers and means business by all accounts with e-mails and other evidence to back up his claims.
In total, the former web designer claims he is owed around 84% of Facebook, on top of fees for services rendered and also the 1% stake he alleges Zuckerberg promised him for every day until the site was complete and up and running, which was in 2004.
And its not the only litigation the social network, which according to Wall Street Journal, could be worth up to $2 billion “fuelled by advertising growth,” has faced.
Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss just this week lost their appeal case against the social network, with a US court telling them they cannot back out of their earlier settlement.
“At some point, litigation must come to an end,” a US Court declared last week. “That point has now been reached.”
The pair claim fellow Harvard student, Zuckerberg, stole their idea and coding for a social networking site, called ConnectU.
Zuckerberg then failed to make them partners to the business, it had been claimed.
The other litigations, played out in last year’s hit movie The Social Network, have been taken by another fellow student Eduardo Saverin, who settled for about 5 percent of the company.
Saverin, who was made Zuckerberg’s business partner provided $US15,000 to help fund servers for set up the site and was promised 30 percent of the company.
Facebook, however has fought back to the latest round of claims and has branded Ceglia is a “scam artist” and a “convicted felon.”
A full round up of all the lawsuits the social network has been involved in can be read on blog Mashable.com.

Nearly 20 percent of all TVs shipped last year featured IPTV capabilities and will be the next big thing to hit our screens with growth of 30 per cent y-o-y .
“The adoption of connected TV capabilities is a natural next step,” says a new DisplaySearch report out today and by 2014 uptake will be enormous with 123 million sets shipped worldwide.
The onslaught of IPTV has been aided and abetted by digital TV broadcasting and improved broadband so it looks like the NBN could come just in time for internet TVs to take off.
But that’s not all that’s going to happen says the TV Design and Features Report.
As Smart TV goes mainstream viewers will be confused, swamped by content from apps, internet TV and the slew of new channels on offer.
And they’re probably right.
LG’s smart TVs, launched in Australia earlier this month, feature all the apps, premium content and internet browser and entertainment options on the ‘home dashboard’ and content wise there is everything from Big Pond TV and Movies to LG apps, as well as full internet browsing, Facebook, Twitter and catch up services like Yahoo7 Plus, ABC iView and Fox Sports, to name but a few. And ditto on Samsung devices.
And specs wise some of the sets recently launched here feature everything from cinema 3D-ready, web ready, DLNA-out, Wi-Fi, Smartshare, DVR ready, LED backlighting and USB ready, so its little wonder confusion is also on the menu.
“Smart TVs are adding to what is already a fast-moving and fiercely competitive battleground, with competition appearing in all directions, including mobile PC devices such as tablets and increasingly powerful set top boxes with services accessible anytime, anywhere,” says Paul Gray, Director of TV Electronics.
And even basic Smart TVs, defined as a set which shows internet content without the restrictions of a portal, has search and recommendations, is upgradeable by its owner, and able to network with other devices, will carry enhanced broadcast services such as Hbb.TV or basic video on demand such as Netflix, Maxdome, Acetrax.
And as for other innovations, Panasonic will continue locating content in the cloud while other capabilities to hit IPTV screens include the RVU standard that allows ‘connected TVs’ and set-top boxes to share pay TV content, and low-power sets that can operate with no power cord using only an Ethernet cable.

]]>Hewlett Packard’s new chief Leo Apotheker wrote to senior company execs last week warning of tough time ahead, referring to the May-July period.
He also instructed management to “watch every penny and minimise all hiring.”
It “is going to be another tough quarter, one in which we will be driving hard for revenue and profit,” the leaked memo reportedly warned.
The news sent share prices tumbling by $US1.80, or 4.5 per cent, according to AP. Its shares have already taken a 17% dive since its last earnings report earlier this year.
This followed scandals at senior management which prompted the departure of former CEO, Mark Hurd last August and a major shake out of the board.
The PC giant also pushed its Q2 earnings report forward to Tuesday. The original date was set for Wednesday although it declined to give a reason for the move.
Analysts believe the PC maker will post earnings per share of $US1.21 per share on $US31.6bn revenue.

The sacking followed managerial tip offs from colleagues and the screening of the daredevil deeds on Facebook.
Those dismissed, include Woolworth owned Dick Smith branch manager and assistant manager from a NSW store, who it was revealed had planked a 7 ft tall shelf, a spokesperson, Clare Buchanan, told Channel News.
The shelf was located on the shop floor and not in the back of house. Two Dick Smith staff were dismissed in total.
However, its not the planking they got the sack for, but rather for “reckless and dangerous behaviour,” she insisted.
Planking, a craze that has taken the world by storm, involves lying down in tight spots and then recording the deed and can be a massive source of amusement. Planking Australia’s Facebook site has almost 150,000 ‘likes’ so far.
However, Woolies were not amused and, defending the sacking on ABC radio this morning, insist the planking was a breach of health and safety rules and endangering other members of staff.
“What clearly started out as a bit of a joke on the internet has gone too far and it’s costing people their jobs and, as we’ve also seen this week, their lives,” Buchanan said.
Another of the sacked Woolworths employees planked on a 2.5 metre-high shelf and two other staff in Victoria were fired for planking on a meat mincer. The sacking took place across three states including Queensland.
However, the craze does shave a murky side. One Brisbane youth fell to his death last Sunday after he attempted to plank a seven ft high building.

The system revamp involves integrating QuickSmart “online processing system with JB Hi-Fi’s point of sales system that aims to give customers access to full e-signature and paperless in-store capability.”
There is also potential use by online customers and will help enhance customer both online and in store customer experience.
The agreement between the retail giant and ThinkSmart Limited cover both its Australia and New Zealand ops, and aims for full point of sale system integration to the latter’s patented system by April next year.
“Enhancing customer experience is paramount in driving both in-store and online sales” said ThinkSmart Executive Chairman and CEO Ned Montarello. “These new initiatives are designed to do that.”
ThinkSmart first deployed its QuickSmart online processing system through all JB Hi- Fi stores in April 2009, which helped deliver a 60% reduction in customer processing times, the former said in a statement released.
“It’s exciting that we’re extending our agreement with JB Hi-Fi in Australia and New Zealand at the same time as we aim to bring e-signature technology and paperless processing to the Australian electrical in store and online retailing marketplace,” said Mr Montarello.
“We’ve been working with ThinkSmart since 2007 and we were very happy to extend our agreement with them through to 2014,” said JB Hi-Fi CEO Terry Smart.
“We remain focused on providing the highest level of service to our customers.”
ThinkSmart operates its “RentSmart” branded rental finance product through hundreds of retail outlets including Woolworth’s owned Dick Smith and Officeworks.
