That sort of trading was difficult for Facebook to control. With the DST investment, employee stock sales became more official and easily regulated.
And Facebook can look forward to be even more front-and-center in the gossip industry’s crosshairs: the alleged tell-all about the social network’s origins, Ben Mezrich’s “The Accidental Billionaires,” hits stores on Tuesday.

In a paper presented last weekend at the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation’s annual meeting in San Diego, researchers studied RFA as a treatment for 60 primary snorers over a three-year period. After two treatments, snoring became less severe, and 76 percent of patients reported satisfaction with the treatment and its effects at a three-year follow-up, according to the study.

It’s useful for comparing hybrids versus gasoline-only cars as well. The hybrid version of the Honda Civic saves you $1,616 over six years but costs $6,752 more. It’s cheaper to own right out of the gate when gas prices are around $6 per gallon, according to the calculator.
The industry hasn’t decided on the best way to compare emerging technology to today’s gasoline cars–will it be miles per gallon equivalent, range, or cost per mile? As electric vehicles of various guises
