This picture speaks volumes about who is included at the top levels of the tech game.
Some were smart. Some just had good timing. Others know how and when to invest. All will become rich today.
Because people send us stuff sometimes, here’s a song someone sent us today about Facebook, just in time for the Facebook IPO this morning.
