In 1999, he co-founded Napster, a music-sharing site that attracted millions of users — and enough lawsuits from record labels to shut it down. Five years later, after seeing a site called "The Facebook" on the computer of his roommate's girlfriend at Stanford, he met founder Mark Zuckerberg and soon became the president of Facebook.

Confederate symbols of Civil War divide U.S. 150 years on Posted: 24 Jun 2015 04:11 PM PDT By Wayne Hester BIRMINGHAM, Ala.

From Alabama to Mississippi, Louisiana to Tennessee and beyond the South, politicians distanced themselves from Confederate flags and monuments memorializing southern heroes of the 1861-65 War Between the States. Alabama's governor ordered the Confederate flag and three other flags of the Confederacy removed from the grounds of the state's Capitol in Montgomery, a historically significant city in America's civil rights movement where Martin Luther King Jr. led protests in the 1950s.
