In 2005, Mark Zuckerberg was pitching Facebook as a rapidly growing college network that had just reached 100,000 users and still trying to prove its long-term viability. At the time, the focus was straightforward.

Nearly two decades later, at Meta Connect 2025, Zuckerberg is representing AI-powered smart glasses, immersive virtual reality systems, and next-generation computing platforms designed to move digital interaction beyond traditional screens. The scope of the company has expanded from social networking to now building core infrastructure for how people will interact with technology in the future.

Meta Platforms, valued at roughly $1+ trillion, now serves billions of users globally and investing heavily in AI and immersive computing while Zuckerberg’s personal net worth is estimated around $170–190+ billion.

Here's a quick look at how WhatsApp Usernames work:

Your phone number is protected. You can now share your unique username instead of your digits with new connections. There's no public directory and no suggestions - people need to know your exact username to find you. You can update your username right in the

app.

Claim yours early. Reserve your username in advance starting Monday. You will be notified in the app when it's available. Pick a unique name that's hard to guess - if you need ideas, we provide a name generator to help you in the process.

Extra private. To control who can message you, you can set up a "username key", so that anyone messaging you for the very first time via your username will need the key to reach you. You can change the key at any time.

Lock in your @. If you want the same username on WhatsApp that you have on IG and FB, you can easily reserve your handle by adding your WhatsApp to the Meta Accounts Center.

In 2012, Linux creator Linus Torvalds publicly blasted NVIDIA during a Q&A at Aalto University, calling it "the single worst company" Linux developers had worked with. His frustration stemmed from NVIDIA's poor cooperation with the Linux community, proprietary graphics drivers, and lack of support for features like Optimus on Linux—not from gaming performance or AI.

Four words became internet history. But behind the viral clip was a much bigger debate: open-source vs. closed ecosystems—a debate that's still shaping the tech industry today.
