Zuckerberg's Wedding

  Getting married was a smart financial move for Mark Zuckerberg the Facebook owner. The couple signed a prenuptial agreement where Zuckerberg and Chan agreed how exactly to split their assets in case of a divorce. Chan could potentially have claim to much larger portions of assets such as a big chunk of Zuckerberg's $20 billion in Facebook shares. With making the prenuptial agreement before getting married, this way if a future divorce is ever possible Zuckerberg wont get screwed out of all his money. Zuckerberg and Chan met as undergraduates at Harvard University in 2004. The two love birds are now living in their new home in Palo Alto, California where they were just recently married on Saturday May 19th.

Mark Zuckerberg is hoping that this could help aim to spur more donations and to reduce wait times on transplants. As of now, Facebook users can add donation plans onto their profile to say if they are organ donors or not etc. According to Facebook, more than 114,000 people in the U.S. and millions more worldwide are waiting for a life-saving heart, liver or kidney transplant. On average 18 people per day die because there aren't enough organs for transplant. With now people able to say whether or not you are a donor online, Facebook hopes that this can promote and cause more life-saving opportunities.

$60 Light Bulb

     How much would you pay for an efficient, environment friendly light bulb? Shoppers will be asking themselves this question starting on Earth Day-with the bulb that won a $10 million government contest that will soon be going on sale. Congress launched this contest in 2007, with a goal of creating a new type of light bulb to replace the standard, energy-wasting "incandescent" 60-watt bulb. The contest decided that the winning bulb should be sold at least $22 in its first year in the market. This light bulb is the most energy-efficient yet, lasts about 20 years, and gives off an natural-looking light. Depending on where this bulb is found, its price range can range from $20-$60 dollars.
